[Durham INC] Mailbox Question

[Interneighborhood Council]

Good Morning,

I have sent this out before, but I will send it out again, particularly in
light of Leslie Page's experience with the station manager in West Durham.
 The post office, contrary to Gloria's statement, does* not *get to decide
where the mailbox goes.

The postal operations manual is available in PDF form at the National
Association of Letter Carriers website :

http://www.nalc.org/depart/cau/pdf/manuals/POM/POM_9--12_08.pdf

The relevant section is Section 631.6, titled "Conversion of Mode of
Delivery,"  and it partially reads: "Customer signatures must be obtained
prior to any conversion. In single family housing areas (including
manufactured housing and mobile homes) where the residences and lots are
owned, each owner must agree to the conversion in writing. Owners who do
not agree must be allowed to retain their current mode of delivery. When a
residence is sold, the mode of delivery cannot be arbitrarily changed prior
to the new resident moving in. The existing mode of delivery must be
retained."

It is beyond frustrating that the local postmaster and station managers do
not enforce their own regulations despite repeated complaints.

John Martin, President
InterNeighborhood Council of Durham
