Don't want to get into a contest. Still ...
Even tiny towns have post offices. We've just been by several of those POs in
rural Maine in the last few days.
My post office is quite close. But that doesn't much matter.
We just put outgoing mail in the flap of the mail box on our garage. Priority
and Express Mail postage may be purchased
on-line, printed out at home, and the outgoing package either left by the mail
box, or in a location one specifies
on-line. If it's rainy, they will pick it up on the porch.
I don't think they will pick up parcel post at home yet, although I've not
checked for some time. I seem to recall they
added Priority=>small package express international shipping to the at home
service?

I really don't care whose is best, but do think accuracy has a useful place. I
hope everyone's mail service is great.
