As someone who lives in the country and has watched our postal service
decline I'ld like to weigh in on this.
1. We now take packages a mile of so down the road to a store to be sent.
Why? The local post office is only open 8:00 to 4:00. We're at work
during those times.
2. We now pay most, if not all our bills online. Why? We were receiving
them so late it became impossible to get them back before they were
overdue. Once we began to pay online we became aware of how much easier
this was.
3, If we order something we try to have it delivered by UPS. They are
faster, and the packages arrive without damage, PLUS if the package won't
fit in the post office box we have to try and get someone else to pick it
up for us.
4. Since its almost impossible to get to the post office during thier
working hours we now buy stamps at Costco.
While I recognize the need for mail delivery, there has to be a better
way than the US Postal Service!! JMO, Sue T.
