[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 335453, member: 12570"] Heff, you make an excellent point, but I would like to add this note of caution. Please make sure that you do not drop any of the mail in the box on to the ground. One of our drivers decided to DR MB but accidently dropped some of the mail on to the ground and, you guessed it, it rained and the mail was ruined. Mailbox use, especially on country runs, depends greatly on your relationship with the rural carrier. I had one rural route that went through 5 towns--4 of the carriers were cool and one was a total jerk, which I found out the hard way. I had left a pkg in the mailbox and he removed it and brought it back to the P.O. so I had to go there, get yelled at, retrieve the pkg and then drive back to the address so any time that I may have saved was now long gone. I have a city run so this is not really an issue other than the college housing that I deliver to. I have one bldg that has 6 mailboxes and none of the apts are marked so, if I am unable to determine which apt is which, the pkgs go by the mailboxes and, if small enough, in the mailbox. 4 years, no DFUs.
