Newest Village Post Office Opens In Missouri

NEWEST VPO OPENS IN MISSOURI
VILLAGE POST OFFICE LIST GROWS

Missouri’s Doe Run Village Post Office (VPO), located in Sherry’s Quick Mart, is the latest to join the Postal Service’s list of eight fully-functional VPOs.

As of last Monday, USPS had received 505 VPO inquiries from interested vendors nationwide. Six additional VPOs with contracts are poised to open this month, and 55 applicants are currently in negotiations or awaiting evaluations.

Customers can purchase booklets of Forever stamps and Priority Mail Flat Rate Boxes and Envelopes 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at many of these privately-owned retail units. PO Box service and a USPS mail collection box also are available at Doe Run and other VPOs.

The Postal Service introduced the VPO as a potential replacement option for communities without a postal retail office and for communities affected by recent retail optimization efforts (Link, 7/27).

VPOs will be established in communities in a variety of locations, such as businesses, libraries, town halls or government centers, and will offer a range of popular products and services most used by customers.

    USPS had received 505 VPO inquiries from interested vendors….hmmmmm.
    Vendors=Privatization.

    Here is where they want the United States Postal Service to go, to greedy crooks. Now the fun begins. Let’s see how many friends and acquaintances of past and present USPS execs and past and present capitol hill lawmakers (Ross – Issa) end up owning a few of these VPO’s inadvertently.
