Defective Mail Delivery Change

 



ADVENTURE LOCATION:

DECATUR, ALABAMA

POINT MALLARD CAMPGROUND

NOVEMBER 6, 2024



The morning walk was very nice and several friendly folks and the OFM exchanged howdies on the trail.

Then after lunch we stopped by the office to check on mail and see what is happening.

As it turned out a big thing was happening. Here is the two notices for the campers of changes coming as of today. If this is really enacted then when we leave on 11/17 we will not be able to stay here for more than a couple of days in the future.








Being able to effectively receive mail and parts shipped in boxes is crucial to RV travelers. At this time no shippers UPS, Amazon etc will roam a campground looking for site numbers to deliver packages to. And if they do find a site the box will be left on a porch steps or lying around on the site someplace without any weather or squirrel protection. Regular mail is in the same predicament. We have no idea what is the big plan but it is not looking good for now and the immediate future. I guess we will find out when we attempt to come back in a few months to visit the grand kids again..

We have been Rving since 1972 and this will be the first time we could not receive mail or packages at campground we stayed at safely. This applies to Point Mallard Campground in Decatur Alabama. We hope they come to their senses soon. Good night.

  1. Whoa. That new rule is probably not going to go over well.

    1. Neither the US Post Office nor the shipping companies will make deliveries inside a campground or apartment complex anywhere I have been except the central mail point in the facility. It will be interesting hearing what the USPS has to say to the simple person trying to make them deliver door to door in a 241 sites campground. But I will be gone by then (Nov,17).
