This Monday is Memorial Day in the US. There is one post office in Washington DC (not pictured) open 7 days a week. I'm not sure if it will be opened on Sunday since Monday is a federal holiday. Just wondering... It is always nice to be able to have the flexibility of going to the Post Office and checking my PO Box.For years the Main Post Office (the one that is open on Sunday) stayed opened until 11:59 PM. The US Postal Service is in a financial crisis and the snail mail volume is dropping as the Internet way of communicating continues to grow. So they close at 9:00 PM or is it 10:00 PM? This is a picture of a US Post Office at Union Station (a railroad station and retail place in Washington DC USA). This US Post Office is pretty small compared to the Main Post Office in Washington DC USA.
I was offered a P.O. Box once but the inconvience of checking at the post office was not worth the effort.
ReplyDeleteFor me it is about maintaining my identity. Or should I say, protecting my identity. In my mind, I feel as though the mail delivery is more secure going from a processing and distribution center to the Post Office. Rather than going from processing and distribution center to Post Office to my mailbox. So, my bills and other important "stuff" go to the mailbox. And thankfully, this PO BOX has access hours after "normal business hours". That would be after 6:00 PM for me...
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I have to say, simply because of my affiliation with USPS, that all mail is secure and the Postal Service delivery service is GREAT! (I would not want to jeopardize my job...)
