Although now I'm more leaning towards dropping it off at the post office with so many people remarking about mail theft here :/ We used to have one across the street from us, and that disappeared two years ago (was removed), and so we had to walk a few blocks to the next nearest one, and then a few months later, that one was gone too, so we have to go even further now for the next closest one (or leave our mail out).

From soda cans to diapers to condoms,you name it, he said it was in there. NO ONE wanted the job of picking up the mail from these mail bins. I cant blame them, now that I know. EW.

I stopped doing the "leave my outgoing mail outside my apartment" thing several years ago. Too dangerous. The closest one to me is still there (as of yesterday)–but I wish there were more of them.

I have noticed that a different person would collect the mail from the box, not our regular mailman. Don't know why the mailman couldn't do both things... Stamp prices going up again? Wow. I'm working my ass off to keep the mail going, I'm old fashioned in that way. And cutting one day -- hmmm, didn't the post office, way back, deliver mail twice a day? Sad. Burns!

You know, to complement the 'cell phone booth' like the one at the end of Silver Lake Boulevard. They really should replace them with a two-dimensional ‘email box’.

Stamp prices are going up two cents in May, the postal dept. floated the idea of dropping a midweek day from delivery, disappearing mail boxes, service hours cut back at post offices-- are the internets killing US Mail?

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 03:20:00 +0000 http://la.metblogs.com/?p=20712#comment-2502 Just before I moved out of South Pasadena last week I went to drop an envelope in the box on the corner. There was a notice taped to it that the box would be removed as of (I think) the end of last week. I suppose it could be a cost-cutting measure, but how much is actually saved? The boxes were already there, and the mail carrier will still be passing by to deliver the mail. Where is the savings?

Personally I use the ones next to the post office only as they have cams on them 24/7 and its easy drive through. I won't leave them in my mail box at home for the same reason as Julia, checks swiped and attempted acid washing. Bad news. Wow…lack of use?
