Our local post office used to sort everything local that came in xxx amount of time before end of day, then the out of town mail went to Waco to be sorted to individual locations. Now it ALL goes to Waco, to come back and be delivered locally.

venting has become a serious problem at the board. we need to stop. it solves nothing and creates the wrong impression of us as a group.
also, there is no point in venting about it here. the Post Office and other commercial shipping companies aren't board members. ;-)
millions of pieces of mail make the move every day. billions every year. the number that don't zip along efficiently are the exception.
i'm just happy that i don't have to deliver things myself.
