And he’ll get it there, too.
The US Postal Service is basically the only part of the federal government that actually works. And still works, amazingly, despite all the politicking and bullshit that’s been thrown at it. My uncle once mailed me a letter but didn’t remember the address of the place I’d recently moved to. He addressed it to, “White house near the corner of [street] and [street] in [town],” with no ZIP code, and it still made it to me. I saved the envelope. I’ve still got it somewhere.
Other parts of the federal government also work. Or did until the last few months.
The NPS are a fucking jewel, for one. Imagine if we gave them even 2% of the war budget.
The postal service overall is also great, I agree.
I was having something sent in an envelope (from Etsy) to a friend’s house, but put my name on the addressee line. I was traveling to visit them and wanted the item to meet me there. The local USPS branch denied delivery because they had no record of my name residing there, and returned the item to sender.
When my parents got married in the 70s, somebody didn’t know my dad’s name and wanted to send a letter to my mom, so they mailed a letter to “Susie and her new husband, [City],[State]”.
They got the letter.
This is a hyperlocal privilege, you just don’t realize it. They don’t deliver to a huge number of houses in some communities. Everyone else does, but they do not. They lose so much mail and refuse delivery of so much mail, that is not even funny.
Can confirm. They don’t deliver to my house.
Somehow he’ll have to do this despite only being provided a 50 year old truck with no AC.
(Jokes aside most national post services collect some pretty esoteric vehicles for specialized purposes. IIRC the USPS has some right hand drive mail delivery jeeps for rough terrain mailbox delivery routes for instance).
Those jeeps are in my area!
Just hit the legs until it stops and start to lay down.
Which game?
Elden Ring
Thx 🙏
pandarians deserve mail too
There’s literally a manga with this exact premise. Hold on, if I can find it…
Edit: It’s Ryuu to Yuusha to Haitatsunin - The Dragon, the Hero, and the Courier
If this was Royal Mail, not only would that be a valid address, they would get post there 5 days a week
Got something to deliver. Your hands only.
Shadow of the Colossus climbin’ time.
I think Altered Beast also had a level on a tortiose’s back but I might be mis-remembering
I see the USPS logo here, and all I can think of is what a lie this is.
They straight up don’t deliver to a huge number of houses in rural communities. Everyone else does, but not them. Fuck the USPS.
What a lie this has always been.
Hear me out
Trebuchet
For the letter, or for the courier?
For the turtle
Yes.
How it sometimes feels trying to reach an address as a food courier.
What address? Not like there’s a number on the damn house. I straight up asked a customer once what they would do if they ever had to call for an ambulance and they looked at me slack-jawed.
