People should fill out the surveys even if the Postal Service has no intention of honoring community input. It appears that the Postal Service is making every attempt to suppress survey participation – surveys are mailed only to post office boxholders and not all those that use the office, in many offices surveys are not available at the window as specified, surveys do not come with return postage and it isn’t clear if they will counted if not stamped.
While completing the surveys may not make much difference at this point it is entirely possible that the Postal Service will use poor response rates to justify future attempts to close offices.
