It also gives you the mail station worker's home address so you can mail the tip. If there are any covenants against leaving tips in your mailbox, this is a way to get around it.


Our mail worker goes above and beyond. Comes to the house with large packages, brings treats for the dog, engages with us. She's a treat.
