7:20 AM. 22 below out there. Another day off. I have come to appreciate days off. Especially today. I don't have to hope a mail vehicle starts and dress like I am going ice fishing.
Yesterday we drove over to Springbrook to look for my postal badge. I walked the ditch along highway 63 in front of the Post Office and found it! It was a shot in the dark. But there it was laying face down. The white and black of it blending in perfectly with the stained roadside snow. I got lucky.
I was telling Annie yesterday that it would be cool to start a Curt The Carrier Facebook page for my community. I could communicate with customers and get feedback on their mail delivery services.
They could tell me where to leave their packages, etc. I had a customer private message me recently to tell me that she wants her packages left by her garage for example. I like it when people give me feedback. In the end we're a service and I'm not guessing.
I would also communicate what it's like to deliver Amazon packages. When Amazon delivery started in the Post Office it changed the game. The standard mailbox, in my opinion, should have been banned.
That might seem harsh or extreme. But the amount of packages we started delivering went up 5 times. So any package that might fit in the standard mailbox we would desperately try to make fit to save time. A big mailbox or container at the end of the driveway can be a godsend sometimes.
On the other hand, I just delivered a route without Amazon delivery for a year and half. When I had a package that was questionable to fit in the mailbox I usually took it in. I had the space to do it and gave me a chance to get out of the vehicle.
Small things that would make life easier for everybody with a little communication.
Well, that's what I got running through my mind this morning. I hope you have a great day!
