One of the nice things about living in an urban area is that the mail is
funneled through LOTS of post offices.

And one thing I like about USPS that I dislike about UPS and Fedex - if
it's a heavy package they won't even attempt delivery. They'll just put
a tag on the door telling you to pick it up at the post office.
