I have been a customer of a postal box for approx. 3 1/2 years. My very small box cost me $61.00 per 6 months. Then about a year ago the rate jumped to $81.00. Now~~ I'm about to pay my 6 month fee, and much to my dismay,and MO notification the Fee for 6 months has JUMPED TO $101.00 For this small box in the wall !! WHY AND HOW HAS THIS RATE INCREASED SO HIGH, AND INCREASED AGAIN IN A YEAR?? If you haven't noticed I am extremely upset as I'm on a fixed income as a senior, I can not afford another increase! What can Smithtown, N.Y Post Office do to roll back this fee, or offer a discount for Seniors, Disabled who is trying to survive on a fixed income on Long Island, NY? As with all this price GOUGING (inflation) going through the roof and deciding how to make a decision between food or medication, or taking 1/2 ; why must the Post Office jump on the Band wagon ,and once again increase their rates?? Hasn't the P.O. gotten enough bail outs?
"The agency ended March with $25.8 billion in the Postal Service Fund, up from $16 billion the previous month. A year ago, USPS had just $9 billion in the account, leading to dire warnings that it would run out of cash in six months and a request for $75 billion in relief from Congress.Apr 7, 2021.
USPS Has nearly exhausted the 10 BILLION that Congress awarded".
"Feb.9, 2022
U.S. House approves $50 billion relief bill for Postal Service"
And in addition. my post office box rates INCREASED AGAIN?!!
What's WRONG with this picture?
