"Look at the price of postage...keeps going up while service keeps getting trimed. "

Have you compared the costs to other countries? Or, for that matter, with FedEx or UPS?

Look at the price of postage...keeps going up while service keeps getting trimed. Can you even find a free standing mailbox away from the post office these days?

Look at the price of any service. You think the government is exempt from inflation?

And the service is pretty damn good. Who else is delivering to your house six days a week. What, you want them to put the mail in your hand for you?

RE:"Or spend a little more and get a great benefit for your dollars?"

Never when the dollars go to the government.

I find the service to be very good and mailboxes fairly prevalent.
