coopdad Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 As a magazine editor myself I am constantly hearing from readers who did not get their magazine. Here is part of the reason... Postal Workers Caught Hoarding Undelivered Mail at their Homes Tuesday, January 20, 2009 Associated Press DETROIT — There were jokes and snickers at a Michigan post office when customers learned that an overwhelmed carrier had rented a storage unit to hide thousands of pieces of mail. "I heard a couple of people come in and say, 'Can I pick up my mail — or is it in storage?"' said Annette Koss, the postmaster in Howell, 50 miles northwest of Detroit. "We just didn't understand it. It's such a stupid thing to do." Jill Hull pleaded guilty Tuesday to deserting the mail, a misdemeanor. The case is rare but it happens: From North Carolina to North Dakota, carriers in recent months have been hauled to court for failing to fulfill their routes. Mail has been found in basements, garages and, in Hull's case, a self-storage unit in Michigan's Livingston County. In North Carolina, a mail carrier admitted to keeping junk mail buried in his backyard. In September, after she had failed to pay her bill, managers opened Hull's unit and discovered thousands of pieces of unopened mail, including 988 first-class letters. Some had postmarks from 2005. "I was unable to deliver all the mail," Hull, 34, said during a brief hearing in federal court in Detroit. Read the whole story...
Harry P. Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Ok... so she was "unable" to deliver the mail, but she had no problem delivering it to her self-storage shed every day??? And what's the deal with storing it anyway? What was she thinking???
purplehornies Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I read that she had a SECOND storage unit for her stash of unbuilt kits!!
