[Durham INC] FW: [whhna-list] Bogus mailbox letters

[Tom Miller]

The fact that this keeps happening indicates to me that the letter is an
understood practice of the letter carrier wing of the post office.  It is
either encouraged by or winked at by management who then just brushes us off
with a "we're sorry, we didn't know" response to our complaints.  The PO
people know that the practice is too small a thing to attract the attention
of anyone above them who could really do anything about it, so they just
keep doing it and apologizing as they go along.

 

I suppose we could make a stink with a deputation to the PO where the last
letter came from.  Maybe the news folks might like to come along with their
cameras.

That was one of the agreements Mike and I reached with one of the Post
Masters, Chris Tinkham.

Wish we could get some of these agreements in writing!

Mike- thanks for taking this up (again).

Please ask him to support neighbors in East Durham reverting to their porch
mailboxes. This neighborhood received, and is still receiving, the same
misleading letters, but most neighbors were not connected to informed
neighbors that could tell them not to be tricked. I think the Post Office
should allow those who would like to revert to porch service since the
"service change" was achieved via misleading the customer.

thanks,

chloe

I just left *another * detailed message with the Regional Manager in
Greensboro. He and I have a phone appointment this afternoon. I will press
him again for a permanent fix to this recurring annoyance. I share more
later today or tomorrow.

They are at it again, this time in Duke Forest.  Tenants arriving from
Charlotte received a notice from the post office that they need to have a
street mailbox and that all their mail is being held until one was
installed.  

New neighbors, if you receive a note like this, please let the Postmaster
and the listserv know.  The letter is not valid and the post office has no
authority to make you move your mailbox out to the street.

Thanks!
