Aloha to Aloha

By Ellen Enrico, Earth Class Mail

With Aloha Airlines’ recent announcement that it’s ending passenger service (and the hauling of a considerable amount of postal mail) to and between the Hawaiian Islands, how will postal-mail delivery be affected in Hawaii?

There was speculation that mail service might be slowed as a result. Ron Wiener, our CEO, who’s very interested in both aviation and mail, came to me, a native Hawaiian, to ask about mail delivery in Hawaii. Was I ever concerned about or did I ever notice slow delivery of mail to the islands?

My response is anecdotal, of course, and I may not be a “typical” Hawaiian; however, I can say that I, as well as my friends and family in Hawaii, never particularly cared if postal mail arrived a few days late. In fact, some friends rarely cared if they ever got mail at all.

But when they received a jury summons or a tax-refund check, for example – they’d want to know.

So are Hawaiians too laid back? Should we care more about getting our mail as fast as possible? Or do we simply have our priorities straight?

Whatever the case, we still need to receive our mail. But even though I work for the company, trust me — Earth Class Mail is a great way to manage your mail without having to rely on physical delivery.

After all, if you have wireless connectivity wherever you go and you’re silly enough to take your laptop to the beach, you can check out your mail while soaking up some sun. What could be more “Hawaiian” than that?
