I don't care either way. If the people in charge wanted the practice stopped that would be the end of it.

It was about a year or so ago that the Mallory mail center had all the stickers removed. It certainly did make the appearance of the mail center look really nice. I think painting was done too and the whole area brightened up, especially at night. Maybe improved lighting was also done, not sure.
I never have had or have never needed a sticker on the mailbox. I guess the location of my mailbox is easy peasy to find. Sorry to say, the stickers have slowly returned but there are not nearly as many as there were before the improvements were done. I imagine folks have no problem finding their mailbox without a sticker on it. How about using the number?

Then I get out of my car and stand in front of a wall of over 300 identical doors. Sure, by now I know the general location of my door so that narrows it down a bit. I should remember the number but I don't. But the little sign (sticker) on the door helps me find the right door. I guess the sticker is just like the sign on the road that helps me find the right building except there is only one building to choose from but over 300 doors. EDIT: Oops! Turns out my neighborhood pool has a sign and the postal station just hangs off the parking lot.

Not government property
They are owned by TV, not the government. I clarified with postal service after people were having fits before about stickers, etc.

After the first week or so of living there if you can't "zero in" search Google for "optometrists near me." Our mailbox area looks like the front cover of a 6th grade notebook with all the zillions of stickers.

I'd like to know what USPS employee told you that. Other than the Postmaster I would take it with a grain of sale. Then why do the keys says "USPS DO NOT DUPLICATE" and you have to contact the USPS to get a replacement, NOT The Villages? Actually they change the lock not replace the key.

I was extremely angry when I arrived at the post boxes and found my sticker was removed. Put the big gold key in, the one that weighs 6 pounds and pulls my trousers down to my knees and it did not work. Wrong box ? Moved to right - NG. Moved left NG. Up & down still NG. Got in the golf cart and left in frustration. On the way home found the problem - wrong postal station.

I do understand the challenge some have finding their mailbox. I'm in my fifties and already having issues like this. |
