Why, because it’s a new route, and staff is moved around to accommodate first openings until private contractors are hired. They aren’t postal workers.

Plus there needs to be a percentage of homeowners living there to make it worth hiring new people. When we purchased our first home we closed 4/10, Fourth of July week we came down, and only 4 homes were occupied on 4 streets. It was little creepy to see over 100 homes dark, and very quiet
Thank you for a thoughtful post. They know well in advance these homes are coming. And a home costs $400K and you cannot get mail? At least bring it to Ezell...
