What's Bothering You? (The thread about what is bothering you.)

I have a groundbreaking idea: what if postal services could deliver parcels to your local, secure, high capacity, specially equipped... post office?

I know! They did away with post offices where I live a long time ago. En****tification is older than the word.

It even used to be common to mail-order things and pay for them — in cash — when you picked them up at the post office.

Although the US Post Office was established in the Constitution as an important service, since the Reagan era the Republicans have been trying to kill it so that other "carriers" can cash in on delivery services.

The postal system will collapse long before we fix the porch pirate issue.  We're rapidly running out of fuel.  40% of all marine traffic is just OIL/GAS/FOSSIL shipments.

20 years. It will all seem like a dream then.

PO is far away by bus/foot, plus the wait is atrocious and their hours are inconvenient

My property has a secure locker area, but not all carriers use it. I especially notice SpeedPak and UniUni just leave your item at your doorstep instead of using the locker room. Usually anything from China gets poor treatment from start to end of its journey.
