Postal station at airport provides needed service

Sometimes, the cost of change is too high. That's the case with the idea to close the U.S. Postal Station at PTI Airport.

Closing the station will make a big difference to the hundreds of customers each week who need access to mailing services outside of other stations' hours. This includes not just business people, but others like us whose work schedules make it impossible to go to a post office during weekday hours.

We have been regular customers at the PTI station for nearly 15 years. Alternatives such as Great Stops or the mall don't offer anywhere near the same service. Great Stops doesn't offer ongoing package service and has untrained workers handling mail. Going to the mall means hauling packages for long distances and walking through unsafe parking lots. Not only that, the mall offers 23 1/2 fewer hours of service each week.

We are writing the local postmaster and our congressman in hopes that the decision can be changed, and we hope others will, too.
