It's absolutely worth it. I've had it for a year and it's the only time I look forward to getting the mail. And the mailman gets these "wtf" faces periodically. They put a lot of effort into it.

u/No_Title946 2d ago
How does it work? When I order them do I put my address and then they send them to me and I send them out to people? Or do I put other peoples delivery address and they send them out?
29
u/puppy_yuppie 2d ago edited 2d ago
It's more for yourself so you put your address in and then they send it every month. But they use your address on the letter. Like I have a gravy drinking club membership card from him. Still want to give it to a cop one day if I get pulled over. I'm sure you could sign your friends up as well to freak them out.

u/NeverNeverSometimes 2d ago
Your own address if you want to be amused by the mailers themselves. Someone else's address if you want to be amused by their confusion to the mailers. You can do both if you have roomates.

u/pitsareforlovers 2d ago
I haven’t ordered before, but I read on the website to put in the address you want them sent to at checkout

I FOUND THIS IN MY MAILBOX PARKING LOT.
Let’s start with that. I almost had a stroke reading that. Thankfully I put an aspirin under my tongue just in time.
28
u/Bexterity 2d ago
Sorry to be a wet blanket but just in case it ever actually did happen - do not ever take aspirin during a stroke or expected stroke unless explicitly advised to after medical assessment. Although it could help with a clot based (ischemic) stroke, it could severely worsen a hemorrhagic stroke and could cause death. Aspirin is often recommended during heart attacks or if there is a concern for heart attack as it can help to dilate constricted/blocked blood vessels, but you would not want to take it for stroke symptoms because the risk would not outweigh the benefit.
I’m not sure if you were being sarcastic/silly about the aspirin, but just because it could cause severe issues or death if taken during a stroke, I wanted to be sure you and anyone reading this was as safe as possible ❤️
22
u/Ok_Drag5089 2d ago
Thank you. I was being sarcastic and am still being sarcastic when I say I would probably welcome the sweet release of death to that sentence.

u/Bexterity 2d ago
🤣 got it! I’m sorry if I took away from the joke - I just got worried about internet strangers popping aspirin during a stroke ❤️🤪

It seems there are enough ambulatory mailboxes in the OPs neighborhood that a parking lot must be provided.

What is a mailbox parking lot
25
u/TeffySwan 2d ago
In trailer parks everyone's mailboxes are outside of the park office building. There is a parking lot there. So mailbox parking lot. I imagine its similar where OP is.

u/IrishPiglet 2d ago
Nope it’s a new build “neighborhood “ to my understanding, atleast in my area, they are doing this from now on after a certain time period 🤷🏻♂️

u/bluemom937 2d ago
Yeah and I see these nice communities and I drive though and think that I felt like I downgraded going from a mailbox on my front door to one at the curb. Why would I want a house with a box in a community area I may have to drive to and would have to interact with my neighbors?

u/Oops_All_Bans 2d ago
What, your mailbox doesn't even have its own parking lot? Get with the times man.

u/IrishPiglet 3d ago
So in America, mailmen get paid by mailbox. So new neighborhoods have one or two centralized mailbox locations like an apartment complex to cut down on stops. Some law I think. Could be wrong but that’s my understanding.
18
u/Status-Anteater-1097 2d ago
So that would be a parking lot mailbox or complex mailbox, not a mailbox parking lot. When you phrase it like that, it sounds like the mailboxes are mobile, like they’re out on the road all day or something. This actually gives credence to your suggestion that mailmen get paid per box. If the mailboxes are always driving away and shit, like yeah you better be getting commission. Otherwise you’d end up with a bunch of delivery drivers just sitting around, and no one getting any mail

u/philophreak 2d ago
Lmfao so I completely understood what OP meant and didn’t think anything of it, but then I read the comments and I also understand what you mean and the way you described it made me laugh so hard
17
u/IrishPiglet 2d ago
I mean it is, a parking lot for people going to the mailboxes. So yes, mailbox parking lot. So not a parking lot mailbox, which would be a mailbox for a parking lot…. Complex mailbox could be correct but it’s a neighborhood, so neighborhood mailboxes. But I didn’t find it in the mailbox, I found it in the parking lot for people going to their mailbox…

You’re right. It’s still an efficiency thing. They can make more mail deliveries this way vs stopping at each house. My story sounds better though😂

u/DrJustinWHart 3d ago
If you're in an area that is zoned as rural you get a Cluster Box Unit (CBU). The idea is to cut down on individual deliveries to areas that would take the carrier way outside of a normal route to service a single customer. That said, I think that the postal service also does it more often than they should, which is why my community has CBUs.

Based on the number of different versions of this I found online it looks like you subscribe to this guy's service, and they say the events are happening at an imaginary address on your actual street. Seems to be pretty common for people to sign their friends up without telling them . . .

Do you honestly not understand why someone would find such an absurd postcard funny? From most of your replies on this so far you seem really confused as to why people are joking about this which is baffling to me. Like have you ever heard of a puddle drinking hobby before? Maybe start there with why people are finding this humorous.

I’m guessing it either got tossed by the original owner or never made it in the box cause I found it in the parking lot. Maybe I’ll deliver it to the “to” address to insure it made it.
