Nothing to do with The Villages
Postal Station instead of Letter carriers has been an ongoing change for the USPS for years.
Areas like The Villages, growing and growing, it would take endless new letter carriers and trucks. Almost all of the people delivering your mail (postal stations or parcels) are not federal employees. They are contractors paid to work one certain postal station. Also in many cases, someone else (or machine) will have letters sorted out for contractor to pick up and take out to the postal stations, along with parcels for that Village. This goes on many places in the country where there is a new community being built. Yes, it saves money, but it also is much more time saving. Facts are the USPS, until this newest Postmaster took over, NEVER, in 150 years EVER lost money or needed any Federal Funds to operate. The only Federal Agency who could say that. "If something is not broken, don't fix it." That does not apply to a government agency.
