I live in Tucson, AZ....the main post office here has been sorting and disbursing mail for all of Southern Arizona.....This Post Office will soon close and all the mail for aoo of Southern Arizona will be trucked up to Phoenix(somewhere between 120 to 140 miles one way) then sorted and trucked back down to Tucson and the rest of Southern Arizona. It is not like Tucson is some small hole in the wall town, Tunscon & Pima county have well over 1,000,000 people in it. I can hardly wait until it takes 1 week to send a letter to someone in this area and it is 15 miles away and takes 1 week to get there.

All the companies now want you to go this way to save money, but they tell you it is environmental. I still make them send my bills and statements since I know that is the best way for the Postal Service to survive. We now send e-mails instead of sending it by mail since it is faster to respond.
