[QUOTE="gone, post: 242305, member: 5899"] The mailman was being paid about $18 to $30/hour to walk the street and deliver mail, plus great benefits on top of that. While it was nice to get this service in the past, it came with a price and I remember postal rates going up big-time years ago and people grumbling then but their powerful union was blamed for the high rates being paid for a low-skill job. So in some ways, they priced themselves out of a job. So yes that service was great to have but I doubt the majority of Canadians would be willing to pay for it to come back. Hopefully more secure boxes will be installed soon. Until then, it's a problem and the OP post is a good reminder for me to check my mail box more often. So far they've not been tampered with. However it's not just the mailboxes affected: most forms of delivery are falling prey to thieves these days such as the courier home deliveries where people are losing items placed on their doorsteps. A sign of our "COVID-times" with people out of work or with too much time on their hands. [/QUOTE]
