the person earlier this week had a little unmarked white car. They also offer inside delivery here, I imagine that's available where they used this type of delivery.

In 2006, after their devastating loss in the midterms, the lame duck Repubs in the House and Senate forced the USPS to immediately finance their retiree health plans for the next 75 years.

Although that could change soon. The Postal Service is trying to get the authority to increase rates on its own. So Trump might get his wish to make us all pay MUCH MORE for our mail.
