Hello Carolyn.
After additional consideration and speaking directly to the driver, it has been decided to just use the orange carts.  The metal racks would actually be heavier (over 200 lbs just for the cart) plus the weight of the packages.  Also, taking the time to place each package in the white bins, would add an additional step to the process for us and defeat the purpose of using the bins.  We contacted the driver and told him he can start as early as tomorrow bringing the orange bins.  We will work with what is provided.  Much appreciated!
Thank you,
Michael B

Good afternoon,  Mike,

I received a call from Ron Howell, Manager, Customer Services Support, Lansing Post Office.  He has made arrangements with the carrier/mail collector to deliver three white canvass hampers to you that will remain at your facility.  He requested that you please be sure to put your outgoing mail into our USPS white plastic flat tubs and then stack the tubs in the hampers  so the outgoing mail isn't loose in the bottom of the hampers.   The mail collector will empty the plastic tubs from your hampers into the hampers in his truck.  He will leave the hampers with you for the next days' mail.

Will this work out for you?  Do you need a supply of what we call flat tubs?  These are the largest plastic tubs/trays that we have.  He also said the substitute collector was coming at a later time than the regular collector.  Ray, the regular collector, will be back soon and he will come at the earlier time that you were accustomed to.  Ron Howell thought the earlier collection time may be less disruptive to your business.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. We appreciate your business and thank you for using the United States Postal Service.
