bummed: postal mail

[NbyNW]

I'm actually not surprised there is a charge. As long it's a small charge. Pile up of mail takes up (leased commercial) space. Multiply that.. by number of customers. But hey, you no longer need to worry in the U.S. now.

Here's what they charge:

• $20 for the first 10 weekdays.
• $8.50 per additional week (5 weekdays).

You're right, it probably does make sense to charge. But I guess I was surprised, and thought that it was a lot, given that I'm accustomed to having this service for free in the U.S.
