well let me say that as a small publisher i use the us postal service a lot, and while speed of counter service varies from office to office, for the most part i am awfully satisfied with the service they provide.
so here is my question: why is it that in a world dominated by automobiles, virtually every street postal drop-in mailbox is designed entirely for pedestrian use? If i want to mail a letter and i'm in my car, i always have to park my car, get out, and drop it in the box. I don't mean to sound overaly lazy (altho i am) but this more a question of practicality; it's often not easy or legal to park near a post box. it's also a waste of time to have to go thru so much to get to it.
If boxes had drop slots facing the streets, maybe this would be unsafe with some idiot drivers veering left, but certainly some boxes could be placed on one-way streets and in post office parking lots without being an issue. besides, having people park illegally, or double park and jump out their cars and maybe slip on ice in the wintertime is a safety factor too.
just a suggestion.
i wonder who has the federal contract to build those boxes? . . . a great marketing opportunity!
