I’ve kept a UPS store small box for years and to me, it has been worth it.
“I’ve kept a UPS store small box for years and to me, it has been worth it.”
The reason I got the box was shortly after I moved into the countryside someone from a mile away called me and told me that there was a pile of letters addressed to me in their ditch. I went and picked them up. (This was back in the olden days when I had a number listed in something called the “white pages,” which, surprisingly, had nothing to do with race.) At about that time I found I’d missed a payment on my credit card for the first time ever. I’d never received the bill. My neighbor had similar issues. I waited at the box to talk to the letter carrier who was a contractor. He arrived high as a kite with a young woman, also high, sitting (and giggling) on his lap with her pants down. I went to complain and the people at the local post office would not speak to me. (They did think it was funny, though.) That’s why I got the box.
But, now I have a different contractor and the service has been acceptable so far. But it’s too late for all the bills. Technology moved on and I became an early adopter. I haven’t missed a payment and even if the USPS is not delivering all my mail I don’t care any longer as I no longer need them.
