Mail Box Shenanigans ? - Sal DeVincenzo - 04-03-2023
Questions for Bar-K and Overlanders.
Has your mail box been relocated too?
Do you have a mailbox #10 that has my mail in it ?
Reason for asking:
As I tried to get our mail tonight I discovered that our key for box #10 no longer worked in the box that we had been assigned.
Noticed a white postal vehicle today with an amber light flashing doing work on the mailboxes near Sky Ranch.
There is now some (new?) sharpie scribbled markings on the groups of boxes with road names that sort of make sense.
Tried my key in other #10 boxes and my key fit another box #10 in a different group labeled "Overland" I live on Ranch.
-it was empty however and I have a package to pick apparently.
Anyone have a clue ? Did I miss the memo ?
Does your box #10 open a box with someone else's mail or did they get this right ?
Thanks

Hey Sal! Nothing has changed about my mailbox and I haven’t seen any notices about any changes. The road names have been written there for a couple weeks now and I think they’re in alphabetical order.
Maybe worth a call down to Martha in JT?
Good luck!

All I know is my key fits a different #10 box than it used to.
and it was empty when it was supposed to have mail in it.
Thanks Jamie I'll call Martha tomorrow during business hours

Well, happy to report there were no shenanigans. What I learned? My key fits other mailboxes. Also, my key still fits my original mailbox. However, when your parcel should have been placed in one of the bigger boxes, but the delivery person decided to force it into the smaller box jamming the locking mechanism inside,it acts justl like it’s a key problem. The package was actually damaged from the lock mechanism inside, trying to puncture it. I’m sure the methods I used to get my box open would violate some federal law and certainly the language I used was best left for a different situation, but I got my package! Way to go USPO at least there was a happy ending. Stay warm, everyone.
