Mail delivery changes sought curbside and cluster box plan
Washington lawmakers consider phased removal of door to door delivery to curbside or cluster box systems to cut Postal Service losses by up to 4.5 billion a year. Issa argues a balanced reform can modernize service while elderly customers rely on mail for checks and prescriptions. About 30 million receive door delivery, 87 million use curbside or cluster boxes, with cost differences of 350, 224, and 160 dollars per address respectively.
