Like I said, I live in a very rural area. They put up "fire numbers" last year but the company that was supposed to make the map went bankrupt. It was part of the 911 project; we are about the last place to get 911. All the equipment is in place but some databases have to be updated with the addresses and that isn't done yet.

FedEx and UPS learn people by name, not address. They stop at houses and ask if they don't know where the new family is.

They also bend the rules a bit too. For example, I had a neighbor who ordered a computer. The driver and I were swapping stories when I told him the neighbor would be by in a day or two anyway. So he left the computer and saved a trip deep into the woods.

None of the delivery services, not even USPS, delivers packages on Saturday. FedEx considers us a "remote delivery area" so they wait until they have a bunch of deliveries which is why I insist on UPS if available from the merchant.

I haven't heard of any plans to cut back on mail delivery days by the USPS. I'm pretty sure that for rural areas they must deliver first class mail 6 days a week.
