[All] fewer mailboxes?

[Ginny Quinn]

You can forward my response to you  on to Helen.  If  McGarry  Drive Post
Box will be removed, what justification do they have re receeding numbers of
letters being mailed from that location.???  Surely this would be a reason
for it.  What method of determining  which mail boxes would be removed did
they apply to this  decision.? I'm assuming they will also decrease staff
in all areas of the system as well as the boxes.  The nearest boxes are at
Forest Hill plaza,  Super Centre plaza  and  as you say,  West Heights
plaza.

Have they given a method of  "X" distance to the next one.??

Just curious as to the method of choosing....I am not criticizing  because I
myself mailed out less than half my usual Christmas cards  this past year
And, yes , more people  will drive to the outer mailboxes or wait for
shopping if it's not urgent.   Ginny Q.

Does anyone have comments/concerns about Canada Post reducing the number of
mailboxes? John, do you want to respond to Helen or should I? 

 

My initial thoughts are that people are using snailmail less, so it seems
justified. I think mailboxes need to be more conveniently located where
people would normally be going anyway - like grocery stores etc. How many
people currently make special trips to the  mailbox nowadays? It seems like
an activity that is built-in with other errands. 

 

Let me know, ASAP,

Thanks,

Susan K 

 

I'm writing a story about Canada Post removing 45 mailboxes in KW (ours on
McGarry is leaving.) While this is less stops for the Canada Post truck and
saves them money, I'm concerned more people will drive to a mailbox now. Our
nearest one is going to be at the Westheights plaza.

 

Do you want to ponder this and give me a call tomorrow?
