Can somebody explain to me why a PO box, which saves the post office labour, costs so much? Why should it cost anything at all really?
Staff is still required to sort the mail and place it in the box. The post boxes are housed in a building with electricity that costs money. The only savings is the post person does not have to go out to your home to deliver it. That is it… all other costs associated with mail remain the same. It could definitely be cheaper, but free is a stretch.
