Post office rant

[UserRemoved1]

It is against Federal Law to use a post office priority mail box for any other purpose than priority mail. It's also against the law to roll them inside out to conceal them or to wrap one in anything to conceal.

Luds not sure why you say their flat rate is a scam? I use it regularly. I can fit approximately 60lbs of lead ingots in each one. For $12 to ship across country I don't think you'd find cheaper?

Their small flat rate box is the fastest cheapest way of shipping small items. 2-3 days across country. No-one else can do that for $5 plus insurance?

My wife had wrapped it in brown paper. You could not tell it was a priority box.

I must have that dumb look.
Tried to mail a turnip in a 4.95 box and they said I would have to leave to tape it shut and the price would be 5.70.
Sent my wife to another P.O. and they charged 5.70 for what i thought was a 4.95 PO box.
Do you think they are charging by the weight???

I agree, it's worth it if you're mailing really heavy stuff. Problem is that I can ship Priority with the same size USPS non flat rate box for 5 bucks. You don't need a flat rate box 95% of the time. Why is it the PO never has the free standard boxes?
