USPS: Mailbox weirdness
Tried to mail a letter at 4 different mailboxes within a mile of one anothwr yesterday in Bklyn, NYC.
All 4 had were obstructed behind the slot that made it impossible to insert a letter (or anything). Also their labels w/ PU times were scratched out.
Which is all to say, check your local mailboxes are in working order. You can easily feel the obstruction with your fingers or try a piece of junk mail.
Considering DeJoy’s shenanigans in 2020...
Follow-up on Mailbox weirdness:
Local USPS Postal Office official states:
“Due to the many complaints we are receiving regarding mail theft, we’re shutting down and will be removing blue mail boxes, people can give mail to their mail carrier or go to their local post-office.”
Me: “There’s no mail box outside this post office…”
PO Official: “Yes, we had to remove that one due to theft also.”
Me: “will this be happening in other neighborhoods and other states.”
PO Person: “Yes.”
Me: “…..”
Near me, several years back, they had removed all the convenient mailboxes. Then they moved them to an inconveniently distant corner which now had 3 to 5 mailboxes on it.
Then they complain that nobody uses mail anymore and they increase the price of stamps.
