Now that the drop boxes have all been removed from our Valley locations, I was wondering if anyone knows the location of any drop boxes in Omak? Thanks!

If I'm in Omak I just go straight to the UPS depot. It's easy access from central Omak.

All who read this can help getting UPS to bring back a drop box point to the valley by contacting UPS as described in this post:
https://methowvalley.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=38485&hilit=ups
"If anyone is interested in advocating for a UPS Access Point in the valley, you’re welcome to contact UPS and express that interest. I am already in their system as a candidate, so if they do decide to add a location, I will be ready to help. I was provided with the following contact information for anyone who needs assistance with UPS Access Points:
Email: retailsupport@ups.com
Phone: 1-855-404-0585 (option 4) "

Hi All,
The place that used to be the Little Red Hen said that they would host a pick-up site. UPS said no. But many folks in the valley have Amazon Prime accounts with free delivery. And Amazon has an option for "recurring deliveries". So if 5 of us, and yes I am in on this, schedule a recurring delivery for every day of the week of a small inexpensive item, the UPS would deliver them to the place formerly known as the Little Red Hen on Monday, and Tuesday etc. And while they were there, they would pick up any outgoing parcels. The small item could be something useful that we could donate (pencils, diapers what have you,) or we could just keep it all and return it within the free return 30 day window.
Childish? Hell yeah. That is part of its appeal for me, but it might get the attention of UPS.
Any takers? I am in for Mondays!
