<p>[QUOTE="wxcoin, post: 7714941, member: 74624"]When I retired I moved to a rural location in the north woods of WI. Houses along the first 2 miles of my dead end town road have mailboxes at the end of their driveways. At the time I moved there, anyone who lived along the last 0.6 miles of the road had their mailboxes in a group at the 2 mile mark. History shows that the road used to end there 40 years ago. Granted, at the time I moved there I was the only year round resident in that group. Since I had to walk a quarter mile to my mailbox and shovel snow away from it in the winter, I asked the local postmaster several years ago if I could move my mailbox down the road to near my driveway. The postmaster granted my request. Last summer several now full time residents further down the road requested their mailboxes to be moved by their driveways. The local postmaster was going to grant the requests by had to deny them after Dejoy became the new postmaster general. Basically, lengthening the route would add another mile to the rural mail carriers route and cost the post office more money. Since Dejoy became postmaster I've noticed a degradation in delivery times. I absolutely don't blame the average postal worker; one of my neighbors is a retired postal worker. The issues we have now are most likely a result of the top level management.</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. Sorry for the rant. I'm old and get no respect![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
