Post Box Change - the next batch (yup, it is a long one)
Friday, June 24, 2022 at 6:58AM Hi All,
Ok, here are the next batch of numbers. I have a couple option for you. Please let me know which you would prefer, but first a couple of factors to consider…
The first issue, it looks like the new physical post office boxes will be numbered 1-300. However, there isn’t anything to stop us from putting a paper sticky on the box that just says your post address. Meaning, if in the off-island world, you might stay with 510, Fred will just know to put 510’s mail in physical box 255, for example. You would just know your 510 mail goes into 255, and a paper sticky could be added just as a reminder. This could be an option for all the below address number. The only drawback to this is that it is dependent on transfer list being followed and passed on other people working in the post office, but it should work.
The second issue that has come up is with the 4-digit numbers. With further feedback, it looks like many people just have been cutting off the last digit of the address to make things work when only three digits are allowed in the off-island world. Only issue with that is it is post office personnel and list driven. If there is a change of post office staff, there may be temporary mix ups to work out to prevent mail from going into the incorrect box. In this case, box 121 could end up with all 1210-1215 if they were to revert to the 3 digit 121.
Ok, here we go with the options:
Option 1:
You can just stay with your below address, and we will just put that address on the list to be diverted to another to another box between 1-300. You keep your off-island address, but your physical Thetis post box number will be different (or just have a sticky over top, saying 510, for example). Definitely, a bit more work for post office and not as clean, but doable.
Option 2:
We look for a new post box number for you, so the post box address and physical post box numbers are the same. Individually, I can give you a sense what numbers are left, and you can choose. Some make sense and are pretty close. For example, if you were 1211, I could give you 211. Others are not so close, but we can try to find something that works. I will try to work with you don’t have to toss letterhead and all that stuff (maybe just cross out a number until you reorder).
Ok, so those are the two options I have for the boxes below.
Let me know which you would prefer - Option 1 or Option 2. As always, my email address is michelleblack@hotmail.com or text me at 250-715-8942
If I don’t hear from you, I will default to Option 1.
If your number is not on the list below, I’m still working on those pieces. Stay tuned.
Thanks again with your patience with this process,
Michelle and Fred
