[Durham INC] Postal Regulations Concerning Mailboxes

[Interneighborhood Council]

I've sent this out before, but let me send it out again.  Please forward it
to your neighborhood listservs and your PAC listservs.

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

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.
