Based on what my wife told me the other day i see less and less of a reason to go to the USPS location. She was mailing our nephew's birthday gift and went to the post office. Line out to the door. Was going to buy a box from the little display and then realized she didn't have any tape and didn't want to spend $4+ on a little role. So she decided to go over to a pack and mail type place. No one in line, the lady measured the presents, found the box for my wife and wrapped it all up. It was sent USPS...grand total was cheaper than the post office with the postage and the box she was going to buy there.austinrealtor wrote:By the way, if anyone here gets popped for illegal carry at a USPS for dropping off one of these care packages we will all "pay it forward" to bail our fellow forum member out of the pokey, right?
Not sure if it is posted 30.06 since my wife is not licensed, but I would bet not. So maybe we should all support our local businesses, rather than wait for the Government Bureaucracy that is the USPS.
Oh, and the reason for the long line...it appeared to my wife that all 3 postal employees were issuing Passports to individuals at the counter...when did they start doing that? When I got mine I was escorted to a room in the back that they have setup for it, and they only do them during certain times...
