What surprises me is the phone books are delivered to our driveways. This means people are TAKING their old books to the postal centers! What is up with this? Do they think they are recycling the phone books by taking them there

These are new phone books at the Lynnhaven Postal Station for the most part.

They may be extra new phone books that were supposed to be delivered to homes. The phone books were dropped off at the postal stations for delivery to the houses.

We got one phone book on our driveway, and one shoved into our mail slot. Both were recycled at home.

Our mailbox station is about a mile from our house, outside our village and across Buena Vista. Not particularly convienent to anywhere we are heading. So we try to pick up mail every two days or so, but sometimes it goes a day or two longer. Our postal person will roll up mail and shove it into the box in a ball. It’s rare we get a magazine with a unscrunched front cover. Needless to say, the phone book made all those voting ads quite a mess.

He or she seems to put the catalogs in first, so first class mail is held until there is sufficient room in the box. Sometimes we get our first class mail a week after the postmark.

Why make your mail persons job so difficult?
You don’t pick up your mail and complain about it’s condition.
What do you suggest the mail person should do?

Headed the way of the buggy whip.

Yes it should have a way to either opt in or out.

The yellow page revenue stream must be such that nobody cares if they are used or not.

I know businesses that had a dedicated, yellow page phone number.....that never rang!

Just as a lark, I tried looking up the landline phone number using my husband's name. I got such a run around, I gave up. How do you look up someone's phone number on line without having to pay a fee for the information? What am I doing wrong?

Which village has an inconvenient postal station location? That surprises me as I thought all residents had access to a postal station very close to their homes, especially in their village.

I try to be a good citizen. Therefore, I do not take the phone book to my postal station, but rather to someone else's.

What a great idea!

That is so funny.

Silly rabbits, the phone book not about you or me! It about advertising at touch of you’re fingers, they think. As long as they are making money on sale of space for advertising we are going to get free phone books.

Well, thank you for trying.

I hate to encourage him, but Rapscallion is so funny!

BTW, I actually used my new phone book yesterday.

And if I try to look up a number online, I can never find a residence number, either.

The recent issue of one of the many phone books was sent by mail to the PO box. It is easy to just leave it there.

Huh? Mine was delivered to my driveway. In fact, I received one and then another one showed up about a week later.
