Rural folks wouldn’t know what fucking hit 'em. Imagine a sliding-scale USPS delivery and fee schedule, amped up by private enterprise.
“Fuck you mean it costs $10 to send a letter from Bumfuck?!”
“Fuck you mean I gotta wait a month longer than city folk!?”
Y’all, delivery’s bad enough in the sticks without this crap. And another reason not to fuck with the USPS, those guys are the one government agency everyone deals with personally and loves. Who doesn’t know their carrier?
I think USPS does stellar work, but I have never known my mail carrier. I just can’t find a normal seeming way to run out there while they are delivering mail and introduce myself. Maybe it’s different if you have a house, but I’ve never had one.
I think it’s more common if you live in an apartment building with lots of units. The delivery person will sit there organizing and unloading boxes for a few minutes before moving on. Houses are lucky to get more than a few seconds with their delivery person before they move on.
I’ve lived in a lot of places like that, but when I did, the mail carrier did not want anybody to approach them while the boxes were open. They’d always holler that I should come back in 30 minutes and that they can’t give out mail before it is in the box.
That is part of the reason I never tried to really talk to them.

Take up smoking. You’ll get to know all your neighbors and your local USPS, FedEx, UPS and Amazon workers.
