we all sound kind of confused here, no one wants their PO to close, we want delivery 6 days a week, we don't like layoffs at our local PO, and yet we don't want postage to go up either. Time to face facts, something has to give. Leaving aside arguments about whether the USPS is a top-heavy organization, it IS losing money.
I just checked the list and there are 3 PO's in VT that are closing. The one that is familiar to me, I agree it could close. There are some around here that get maybe 2-3 customers a day. What is the sense in keeping those open?
Anyway, if you want to keep your small local PO, make sure to buy all your stamps there. They get rated not on how many letters go out and come in, but on how much revenue they bring in. I try to get all my stamps at my local PO. I do draw the line at buying those dusty teddy bears though.
