Arizona City Physical Address Mail

Require US Post Office to Create, Fund and USE, a database in the Arizona City Post Office 85123 for the lookup and PO Box delivery of mail/packages addressed to street addresses in Arizona City. Currently all street addressed mail/packages are returned as undeliverable.

Why is this important?

When ordering a package over the Internet, many times you are not offered a method of shipment. Often if you specify a PO Box the shipper will send you an email "we can't deliver to PO Boxes" so then you give them your street address. If the package is sent via UPS Sure Post, the UPS will drop it off at the Arizona City Post Office, it will promptly be marked as undeliverable and returned.

Previously we had a workaround, add our PO box to the zip code (+4) and the Arizona City Post Office would deliver it anyway. Now the Arizona City Post Office informs us that the USPS has a (+4) zip code system that makes the use of PO boxes as +4 unreliable and cannot be used.

We are, all required to have our street addresses on file at the Arizona City Post Office as a condition of having a PO Box. The volume of mail/packages arriving daily do not allow the Contractors to deal with these and so they are returned to sender UNDELIVERABLE. The good people who run the Arizona City post office are private contractors and must budget and bid for the business. This would be a funding issue that would have to be approved by the Post Master in Casa Grande.

If you live in Arizona city and want to get a pre-paid debit card, you will have similar issues. Pre-paid debit card companies will tell you that they are required by Federal Law to use your physical address and they will only mail the card to a physical address. So if you order a pre-paid debit card and you live in Arizona City, and you follow the law, you will never see your prepaid debit card.

What we are asking the US Post Master in Casa Grande to do is allow/require mail sent to street addresses in Arizona City to be delivered to PO Boxes.

This petition is NOT a referendum on PO Box delivery vs Street/Neighborhood Delivery. This is a Petition to add Street Addressed mail to the daily PO Box deliver in Arizona city
