Hawaiian Paradise Park might get a park

[Punatang]

Weird that most of the houses in Puna with mail delivery at the residence are in Lava Zones 1 & 2. 
 
Open question:
 
If you add up all of the trips to the post office, the driving time, the waiting in line, etc. How many hours per week, month, or year do you spend dealing with mail?
What is the transportation cost (gas, maintenance, etc.)?
How often are you able to retrieve your mail and packages?
How much more money do you think you spend per year due to not being able to shop every online bargain or send every item to a PO Box?
How much time and transportation cost results from acquiring those items at Walmart, etc.?
 
Everyone's answers will be unique, but hopefully we can develop an anecdotal picture of actual cost and maybe even take it a bit further and discuss the true cost economics of life in Puna with no residential mail delivery service. 
 
Thanks in advance for sharing.
