Post Office News
Wednesday, October 25, 2023 at 6:55AM Finally, concrete news on the PO boxes. We are fairly high up the queue to get the back loading boxes we need. I am asking for three hundred. We have to wait until an office or other retail post office upgrades or closes. This enables us to acquire their boxes. When I get further word, we can then discuss the installation process. I have put in the word that I will take the green PO boxes off their hands when this goes ahead. Those of you that asked this is not going to happen soon, but I am hopeful for something this spring.
Post office hours:
Monday to SATURDAY; 1000 to 05:00 PM; CLOSED 12 noon to 12:30 PM
Due to the interim ferry schedule our driver is getting here at around 4:00 PM. That means most of the parcel sorting does not get done until the following morning. In the past we were able to have everything sorted by 1000 the next morning. Aim for after 11:00 if you want to be sure that all of the parcels are sorted. Things will go back to normal when the Kuiper comes back into service (if they go back to the old schedule).
Please bring your tags for parcels. We can all use the exercise going up and down the stairs. Sometimes the customer search just does not catch the parcel. Coming in and saying that you have a parcel with no tag and no tracking number is not helpful and more and more of you are starting to do this. When it is just Liz and I we can take the time. When there are three or four people waiting, no.
Enjoy the Pumpkins!
