I forgot what the cost is, but it won't break the bank.

End of problem, end of story.

And that's what TalkHost ended up doing.

In many of the newer areas, Jimbo, the mail kiosks, which are heated and cooled year round (your medicines can arrive there and be safe) those kiosks are administered by contractors and not the official United States Postal Service. They are small boxes and would not hold much in the way of business mail.

The Postal Service has the responsibility for the delivery and collection of the mail but the people placing the mail into the boxes are private contractors hired by the USPS through a bidding process. These people are not career Postal employees but still have the same responsibilities as regular carriers, just a whole lot cheaper. To be perfectly clear, The Villages has absolutely NO authority what you can or can not receive in your mail. More than likely though, if the mail you receive on a daily basis causes an overflow (a condition which causes the carrier to place your mail in a parcel locker) and it appears to be mail addressed to a business, you may and I say may depending on the carrier be asked to rent a larger sized box at a Post Office. Since most of these contract routes are based on volume, boxes served and distance traveled which is similiar to a rural route, chances are good you will continue to receive the overflow in the parcel locker. OMG, it just dawned on me that I must be having a flash back!!
