Yea, our bank of mailboxes is 2.5 miles from our house. We got intoheated

We finally got a P.O Box at a different (more convenient)Post Office. Now we have to deal
with folks who don't understand that ourmailing address and physical address are
different. :-/
It also infuriates me that *every* other shipper (UPS, FedEx) can deliverright to our door
but USPS can't be bothered.

Well, Canada Post stopped delivering to individual

ago.
I assume that rural delivery still goes house-to-house.

Rural delivery is done to mail boxes along the roads, which means the
people have to travel from their house to said road to get their
mail. We lived on a farm for part of the time I was growing up and
for us that was 3/4 of a mile, and that was not uncommon in the area,
for some it was even further. Quite different from walking a block,
maybe, to a community box.
