HomeDepot.com also refuses to deliver to our homes. I've spoken to the Home Depot Corporate office in Atlanta and they said that the USPS database of home addresses is what they use and they will not deliver to our homes up here under any circumstances if we don't get mail at our homes. The Post Office delivers mail by mule to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Is that tougher than delivering mail here? Sometimes they have to shoot the mules when they slip and break a leg on the narrow trail.

Yeah, I wanted to have a shed sent up here from Loews (I think it was Loews) and it was no go.

Do you know that the Pony Express was in operation for about a year 1/2 only? I had to do a report in 4th grade
