Mail

Travel is expensive. What if you just want your kiddo to visit grandma but cant afford it? This Idaho couple got creative. The United States Postal Service Parcel Post started getting underway in 1913. At the beginning there was little to no rules on what you could or couldn't ship. The only real rule was that there was a 50 pound limit on anything you wanted to ship.

Oftentimes, we hear about scams and the only thing we can do is "be careful." When it comes to this particular scam, however, we can put a stop to it.

How much do we actually know about those who deliver our mail everyday?

If it takes three days for a letter to reach your mailbox now, starting on October 1 it may take five days or more for the same letter to get where it's going. The Treasure Valley is in a section of the country that will be the most negatively impacted by the new slowdowns.

As you go to get your mail today, you might notice something different about your mailbox. In addition to your everyday bills and the ads that will go directly into the trash, you may find a dryer sheet. No, this didn't accidentally fall from your mail carrier's sleeve, but your mail carrier is the person who left it there...

That guy or girl that comes to your house six days a week, 52 weeks a year and leaves envelopes in your mailbox...well, today is the day to say thanks.
