I read this with interest as I live on the edge of a rural town where I am building a business that spurs the use of tech and net in rural areas of my 3 state region. We have fiber access but lag in net commerce skills and tech hubs. I was at the PO recently. Mail here is delivered direct to farms but townies must go to the PO. I was told by the PO Master that any large volume mailings would require the sender to drive some 25 miles to the next PO as she could not handle themm She was annoyed that I had received 7 Amazon boxes. They had filled up the small space in her office and I had to cone get them immedistely. This caused me to begin thinking of the clash between growing rural commerce and an unexpected pest..the Post Office! Amazon may provide a partial solution but still pondering how to completely solve.
