Just a thought, but maybe DOE did it to confirm people live where they say they do? ie not cheating re zones? Not to give DOE to much credit . . . [ Reply | More ]

Where did this $5 number come from? I am very sure that the letters were delivered by DOE folks. They were definitely NOT professional delivery people. [ Reply | More ]

Because I know how other city agencies do those things. They do not pay a professional courier service if they don't have to. As I said the way the letters were delivered was not professionally. Do you think real couriers would leave letters taped to doors or pushed under doors? [ Reply | More ]

i think it would be way cheaper to pay private couriers, because they pay messengers way less than unionized doe employees (who would have had to be paid overtime for working over last weekend). "Real" couriers do what they are told to do, if they were told it's ok to tape letters to the doors or pushed under that's what they'd do. [ Reply | More ]

I just read it. Okay, so I cannot expect a better delivery service for $5 a pop? The way some folks got their letters is outrageous. [ Reply | More ]
