Mail delivery and post offices in Summit County, Colorado

"Wait a minute Mr. Postman..."

There is very limited mail delivery in Summit County and its towns. Most residents rent a post office box. The box fee may be waived if you can prove residency in specific areas. A few neighborhoods and subdivisions do have mail delivery. There are full service Post Offices in Breckenridge, Dillon, Frisco, and Silverthorne. Keystone is served by Dillon. Copper Mountain has a PO box station, served by Frisco. A daily trip to get our mail becomes part of our routine here, and it's hard to go to the Post Office without running into someone you know or making a new friend.

For more detailed info, see www.usps.gov or call 800 275 8777.

Rolando! How are you doing! ? This is great info. I remember when you told me about the mail box thing. It sounded like the old west! Even Nestor was like what? No mail boxes? Then we got it when we realized how rural it can get up there.

Katerina, Yes it IS like the old west. The goofy thing is that we are not really that rural. These are densely populated resort towns! The mailman could be on foot for most deliveries. But with so many 2nd homes, I guess it just never got set up that way.

For the most part, this works out okay. You get to throw away your junk mail before it reaches your home. However, there is one caveat: I'm a freelance writer, and I am currently having issues with a company who will not accept either my PO Box or my physical address on my W9 form. They claim that they cannot submit payment to anyone whose address cannot be verfied by the USPS mailing system.

This is an unusual, isolated case, but it's still annoying.

Lisa Marie, I know what you mean. I sometimes have strange responses to this too. I have been told that you can trick some systems by including your PO Box as part of your street address (305 Main St., Ste. 5042), but I do not know if that would solve the issue you describe.

Leave a response…
