One of the ideas to save money put forward by the USPS is to do away with delivery in newly developed neighborhood.
Now they plan to have curb drops or cluster boxes for "clustered" homes.

That's special. I wonder if they have checked the break-in records of those new boxes? I wonder if they will charge for use of those boxes, like they do P.O. boxes?
Why the discrimination by the federal government. Why is all mail delivered to the homes or at least the driveway mailbox? Is it only in California? Other states rural mail is delivered to their mail box located at the road and driveway. I believe we all pay the same amount for a stamp. Why not the same basic service? Is that the latest deprivation of services offered by the OOOOObama administration?
Please read the following before you throw the President under another bus...$25 Billion is not deprivation ... The following is contained within President Obama’s 2013 Budget Proposal. Provide Postal Service Financial Relief and Undertake Reform The Administration recognizes the enormous value of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to the Nation’s commerce and communications, as well as the urgent need for reform to ensure its future viability. USPS faces long-term, structural operating challenges that have been exacerbated by the precipitous drop in mail volume in the last few years due to the economic crisis and the continuing shift toward electronic communication. Bold action is needed to ensure that USPS can continue to operate in the short-run and achieve viability in the longrun. To that end, the President is proposing a comprehensive reform package that would: 1) restructure Retiree Health Benefit pre-funding in order to accelerate moving these Postal payments to an accruing cost basis and reduce near-year Postal payments; 2) provide USPS with a refund over two years of the $10.9 billion positive credit balance in Postal contributions to the FERS program; 3) reduce USPS operating costs by giving USPS authority, which it has said it will exercise, to reduce mail delivery from six days to five days starting in 2013; 4) allow USPS to increase collaboration with State and local governments; and 5) give USPS the ability to better align the costs of postage with the costs of mail delivery while still operating within the current price cap, and permit USPS to seek the balance of the modest one-time increase in postage rates it proposed in 2010. These reforms would provide USPS with over $25 billion in cash relief over the next two years and in total would produce savings of $25 billion over 11 years.
Geez! Why is it when you say something good about the USPS or try to share information you are pegged as a union member? Look, some idiot shared his belief Obama was at fault for lack of funds for the USPS. I checked it out and the putz was wrong as are most Obama critics. I just get tired of losers who look to blame others without checking the facts. When you're a loser, blame the big guy! I see this on this blog ALL the time! I'm that person in Copperopolis who likes his post office & ALL the folks who work there! Cheers to the 95228!

Locks are for honest people and of course they'll cost you. Next question?

Well, hello there, APWU. And how much did you donate to President Obama's campaigns?
