Post Office

This is our infamous post office.  It is currently under investigation by the Netherlands for its inability to deliver mail in a timely fashion.  They are going to study it for a while before they actually do anything about improving services.

The post office serves as the payment center for government permits, licenses, taxes and ballots. As you may recall, we had to go to the post office to pay for our license plates and pay the road tax. Our house tax paid annually may or may not come via the post office. We have also received ballots postmarked in Bonaire to many people who do not live at this address.

The post office does not seem to deliver mail or bills.  WEB (our utility company) delivers their bills and it does not go through the post office. It seems WEB knows that their bills would never get to their customers if they were handled by the post office. Our realtor told us that she was still waiting for an Easter card from her Mother in Pennsylvania from 3 years ago.

The post office does have mail boxes for rent.  I don't understand this since no mail is delivered on the island. 

Perhaps this is just an ex-pat issue. Maybe the Dutch get mail.
