Thanks in advance!!
One wonders why the #$%^&* they built these mail building with boxes situated so low to the ground and so high up. I mean, it's not like we're in our 30s. Our box is on the bottom row, and we both have back issues. Almost everyone in our age group is experiencing some kind of joint/muscle/shoulder/neck/back/you-name-it problem and doesn't need to be stretching themselves out of proportion every day to get the mail.

They made the houses user-friendly to an aging population; why couldn't they do the same with the mailboxes?

I imagine because of the coded numbers on each box, the post office won't budge an inch about change requests. It's the luck of the draw, after a bad design. Besides, what about the person who would end up with your old box?
