Rural Letter Carrier and this article ( Rural delivery service) should be merged. JubalHarshaw 15:59, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
These two articles should be merged, they go together, and by themselves are small. -- Mrath 06:37, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Yes, they should merge. The rural delivery entry is very compact. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.3.13.132 ( talk • contribs) 04:55, July 30, 2007
I disagree, or rather, agree as long as Rural Free Delivery has its own subcatagory. I'm typing up old letters from the early 1900s and they put RFD on the letters. RFC wasn't a "stamp" so to speak, but RFD was and was required for proper delivery. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.10.105.236 ( talk) 18:42, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
By 2010, with enough content about the service and the carriers available, the formerly merged article is now separated. 68.165.77.179 ( talk) 01:10, 12 April 2010 (UTC).
There is a template on this article saying it should be globalized as it mainly deals with United States. Maybe a better solution would be to make it explicitly a United States article by a change of title and of the introductory sentence. What do others think?

There appears to be a contradiction between pages on when free delivery began in cities. This page 1858 ("33 years before" 1891); this page says 1863. Which is it? TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 05:13, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
