They're not delivered by mail, I assure you. They wouldn't arrive before expiration dates.
Is it possible you've heard of these brand new parcel delivery services called UPS and FedEx?

Born here, lived the west coast for a bit, then back here, probably moving again now that all my friends that were born here have left the state lol

No, but maybe someone can email you some musical talent?

Show me how to email prescriptions. Many insurance companies require that some medications be filled by specialty pharmacies that deliver by mail. I know because my daughter has to deal with it.

That's what UPS is for. One less 'S' ten times better service.

I know her brother Tom, I worked with him for a while… he accepted this was the outcome a long time ago… but still couldn’t let it go… I’m glad he finally got closure on it…

I never know what to say when people ask where I'm from. I was born in NH and lived there until I was 8, then spent ages 8-18 in VT, then moved to MA for college and spent over a decade there, then moved back to VT for grad school. I wasn't born here, but I do identify with it more than any other state.

They're just short staffed. Not much they can do but work as much as they can and as an ex USPS worker, I can assure you, they're doing what they can

It’s not just you—4.80+ on a bill I just got. Sheesh!

Born in NH but moved to Vermont when I was 3. Grew up in VT and parents still live there. Does that still make me a native Vermonter?

Randolph is the same. They’re super understaffed

Compost your food garbage. Either do it on site or pay someone to take it but compostibles do not go in the landfill.

I understand- but the post office is directly under the federal government as far as I know. Hopefully they have answers on how to hire more people? Like better pay- maybe?

And be sure to bring your shopping cart back to the place it belongs. God that irks me when people are too lazy to do that.

I am not disputing that- but I am getting my DMV registrations through mail. Sometimes, it is useful to get mail in time (or maybe I should say within a reasonable amount of time). I understand that there are not many people who are willing to work for the post office- but maybe a start is to paying more? Why are people not applying?

This is just about efficiency. Certainly money is saved when they only deliver once a week. Soon there will be increased efficiency when plan B introduces once a month delivery. I mostly get junk mail so I don't much care.

Good point but Congress has been looking at the problems with USPS so I don't think it's totally out of line to talk to his office about problems happening in Vermont. But yeah, Peter Welch is not going to make your mail suddenly appear.

Talk to Kramer. He and Newman know the Postal General.
