For years, a Phoenix nonprofit has run a mail room for thousands of homeless people, who use the address for job applications, for medication, to receive benefits like food stamp cards and even to vote.

Now the U.S. Postal Service is cutting its $24,000 investment, leaving the organization to raise the extra money to keep it open.

Ok. This project has, until now, been mostly focused on Mail Delivery Time within the US.

But now, it seems that I need to expand my research to include how hard it is to send a letter to someone in the US from outside the US.

So, if you're outside the US, please sign up for my #StickersAndStamps project

If you're outside the US, I will ask you to help me collect data on sending a letter to the US. I'll send you more info when you sign up

Q7. I'm told that several countries have ceased mail delivery to the U.S. and that #USPS no longer offer guaranteed delivery outside the U.S. What are the likely implications for bike parts and your local bike shop?
