Blue USPS boxes would be the safest imaginable, against DEW attacks.

The mail that survived in Lahaina were in blue USPS boxes.

One more step toward total enshitification.

Our central Phoenix post office has replaced the old pull-down doors on these boxes with ones with no door that seems almost impossible to rob.

The office said crooks inserted an adhesive that prevented mailings from dropping to the bottom and suspended them where they could be retrieved.

Inexplicably, but typicaly, the new drive-thru boxes require one to get out of car
to drop mail-—often resulting in long lines at the drive thru—not to mention the inconvenience.

And libs think EV charging stations will be ok!!

A few bills I actually put in the mail are either taken to the main post office near my home, or given to the mailman who delivers the mail. I only know of a few actual mail boxes still around.

Well that’s one hell of a note…

Our local post office on Thomas Road and 40th street in Phoenix has these in the front of their parking lot. You drive on a lane to them. They have had to redesign the letter opening by eliminating the pull down now there is no pull down drawer and it’s a very thin opening for letters because someone repeatedly was putting some sticky goop on the area you put the letters in.

Criminals tie a string to something sticky, lower it into the big blue boxes, and pull out mail. They’re usually looking for checks and gift cards. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/us-postal-service-s-new-blue-boxes-designed-to-thwart-crime-not-for-ease-of-use/ar-AA1aNR8D

" In a press release, the Postal Service explained that unfortunately, the collection bins have become very attractive to thieves looking to steal identities or checks, especially at specific times and on specific days. "

Happened to me. Thief stole a credit card payment, made a business check out of the info but misspelled my name. “Washed” the payee info off the original check and tried again but by that time my bank had caught it. Haven’t used the post office since.

[bunkerhill7]

if you have box in the post office and a mailbox at or near your house, the p.o. Won’t deliver mail nor any packages to your house. They are lazy clogs. FedEx and ups deliver
to my door. Why don’t the p.o. Just give the business to the FedEx and ups. It’s a waste of taxpayers money. It’s govt welfare.

[wjcsux]

I’m old enough to remember when the USPS prosecuted people who stole mail.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

The problem I have is that our little town doesn’t have a post office. We HAD one, that was closed down several years ago because (I am convinced) we vote Republican. The nearest post office is now 10 miles away. So the blue boxes are our only alternative if we want to mail something. Of course, I don’t mail checks anymore except maybe 2 or 3 a year, but it’s still a concern.

Thank goodness that mail-in ballots are still 100% secure!
