Comments on: USPS Forcing All Walnut Hill P.O. Box Holders To Change Addresses http://www.northescambia.com/2019/04/usps-forcing-all-walnut-hill-p-o-box-holders-to-change-addresses Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Tue, 07 Apr 2026 16:50:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: MMcClint http://www.northescambia.com/2019/04/usps-forcing-all-walnut-hill-p-o-box-holders-to-change-addresses/comment-page-1#comment-386792 MMcClint Mon, 08 Apr 2019 20:57:27 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=359367#comment-386792 USPS is all about themselves. Do they realize the trouble each boxholder will go through to change their address on ALL their correspondence? It's evident that they don't care about you receiving your mail. USPS complains that they don't take in enough money because the internet has basically taken over their business. That's probably true, but if you can't provide a decent service then this is what happens as an end result. Look at the mess in Milton,Fl that they have with the USPS. Sometimes putting up a street box makes a person vulnerable to identity theft. I know myself for a fact, that a neighbor was to receive a large sum of money from paying off a loan early. They never received the check, but the company said the check had been cashed. Later they found out that the person responsible for cashing the check goes around neighborhoods looking in mailboxes. They take what they want and leave the rest. I know this for a fact that it happened on Cerney Road just a few months ago. Three males were searching through mailboxes shortly after dark and throwing the mail in the street. I'm done with my opinions. Hope everyone involved in this address change has a smooth transition.

This rule only serves to cost the box holders money to get new stationary printed. EREC is doing the community a great service by providing this service, and the box holders are saving the post office money by them being able to deliver many addresses in one stop. But, you don't have to look very hard to find many stupid and costly things the USPS does. There is an old adage; “if you give bureaucrats the authority to make rules, they are certain to make some”.

And it now has become a knee jerk reaction. If postal customers of the EREC operated facility don't want to do the paperwork to make the required change, they can always put up a street box and force the postal service to deliver it to their street address.

As for the USPS you could keep these addresses the same, but choose to be the same as the politicians in office, all about themselves and not the good of the people.
