I've had a response re: letter boxes.
Throughout the established areas of Pitt Town (i.e. not apart of the Estate) mail is delivered via a lady walking. At this time mail is delivered by car throughout the Estate. At this stage there is no indication of when they'll stop car deliveries.
OMG!!! I just found these comments from last year about letterboxes. I have just finished paying for and getting a nice masonary letter box about 1m from the road and just got my first piece of mail today with the following note attached:
WTF!!! Where the hell does it say that anywhere? That was never communicated was it? If I have built this letterbox for nothing they can pay me compensation or at least for an interim (and it better be interim) one. I guess it will hopefully be able to be delivered at some point in the future. Still... terrible communication and service. What an absolute joke!
I will be complaining to Vermont and Australia Post about this. I did think it a little odd so many people had those ugly cheap letterboxes considering Vermont demand you have all these aesthetically pleasing landscape plans. Should have looked a bit more into it. Just wish I had been told. Hopefully they wake up to themselves soon.
