We recently moved in a very rural area. The rural carrier for our new route gave us a form to fill out, and by the end of the week we were receiving mail. UPS and FedEX on the other hand, wouldn’t deliver to us for a month. USPS will carry our packages up our driveway to our steps; UPS and FedEX throw them in the ditch by the mailbox.
Also, did you know you can buy stamps, cards, and envelopes directly from the rural carrier? Here’s a fun quote from the rural customer registration form:
Rural carriers maintain a supply of stamps, cards, and envelopes for sale. Additionally, your carrier
will accept Certified Mail™, Registered Mail™, insure packages, and prepare money orders.
Generally, rural carriers can extend practically all services available at a Post Office. Please purchase
a sufficient supply of stamps and affix proper postage on all outgoing mail.
Imagine how bleak things would be if Amazon was running the show. USPS is truly the best
