(86,068 posts)and there is no delivery service so I have a PO Box. The door is always open (24/7) so I can go and get my mail at any time, it's dry, nobody can steal it or rummage through it... all I have to do is make it into town and That's cool. Many of us, up here, have to use snow machines to get to our cars and a mailbox at the end of the road could easily become victim to snow removal equipment, other delivery services either can't find you or can't get to your place in winter anyway, the PO is the way to go out here in the hinterlands. Besides, it's where neighbors visit, that or the bar or the grocery store (and for those who attend, church). So going to the PO in my end of the wilderness is a social event like it always has been, if there's a line, we get to chat.
