Rural customers worry either option will hurt themlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·18 days agoI have a rural address. USPS already is broken for my community. They won’t delivery at all off the paved highway. We have a line of mailboxes. The issue is that the mailboxes are constantly broken into, so we all also have a PO Box. P.O. Boxes are not cheap. My mailbox no longer exists to prevent packages from accidentally getting delivered to it. If usps doesn’t want to deliver to rural addresses, fine, but set up some alternatives.
