No one has responded to my earlier suggestion of a private mail service. A private mail box business just failed in Pahoa in spite of the demand for boxes. (High overhead, no parking spaces, drive to Pahoa?). Why can't a private service be mobile? It seems to me that the overhead of a car and gas wouldn't be more than the $2000 a month store rent plus staffing. Home delivery would be an incentive for customers. It seems like an entrepreneurial opportunity for someone. Would people pay $25 a month for home delivery? That would gross $5000 a month for 200 customers.(about the size of a paper route).
