A friend lived in a smaller town where mail was processed in the nearest larger city (in a neighboring state). But, if you needed something sent to (most of) the rest of the state, it was faster to have it processed in a different city in the other direction. They had a specific drop box for that, which cut delivery from two days to one. I, living in the second city, was stuck with having my mail routed out of state to get to him.
