Not simpler at all. The closest PO is about a 25-30 min drive one way due to traffic. The closest blue box is a 15 minute bike ride one way, which is my preference anyway. The cluster boxes I also drop packages in are all along the same bike path I take to get to the closest blue box. To break it down time wise, going to the closet blue box versus the closest PO saves about 125 hours a year (based on saving 30 minutes a day). Since I already ride 30 min a day to keep in shape, no point not to use my daily ride to drop off some mail.
In regard to having the USPS PU from the mailbox, due to having a cluster box, that doesn't work at all.
For me, dropping it all (minus high $ stuff) in a blue box was really the simplest thing.
