“Dear PoPville,
About a year ago USPS decided that our single family home was now four units. That meant four of each mailer. But it also makes it impossible to forward mail that is sent to our true address, the one without units attached to it, because USPS only recognizes the addresses with units on the site.

“Dear PoPville,
For the past month, neighbors in Crestwood have not had regular mail (missing 2-3 nights a week). Mail has been found in large dumps in the woods. Are thieves looking for stimulus checks? Is this a disgruntled worker? No one knows, as the postal inspector, is not responding to emails.
Sad state of affairs indeed.”
