Another way might be for each delivery address to be able to nominate the
addresses of two or three trustworthy local neighbours who would be willing to
serve as alternative recipients if the primary recipient were out. This would
be more convenient for both the recipients and the mail services, than opening
alternative collection points. It can't be difficult in these days of handheld
portable computers for a confidential register to be instantly available to the
delivery people so they can look up where the alternatives are.
We could debate whether this service should or should not be extended to
signed-for mail. Myself, I can't see why other trusted neighbours could not
sign for my mail.
This system would have a secondary advantage of improving neighbourliness.
Does anyone know if this idea has been implemented anywhere?
