How the hell....

...does the post office run out of Express Mail packaging?!?!?!? NOT EVEN ENVELOPES!!!!! You think that after raising prices that they could at least keep those things in stock.

It's ran by the Government.

That's our tax dollars hard at work.

Why, sonny-boy, back when I was a lad we had'ta stand by the side of the trail and wait for the Pony Express rider to gallop by. Sometimes we waited for weeks, in the snow! Count your blessings, young'un.

Well complain if you must but we do a pretty good job for the amount of people and area we service. No one else will deliver your packages to every little corner of the of the USA.

I agree with you to a certain extent. P.O. does does do a good job....sometimes. But running out of boxes!?!?!?!? That's like me running out of ammo in a combat zone.

You can order boxes and supplies online. They're free and they deliver to your door. Can't get much easier than that. I never rely on the local establishment.

Here's a link.

Tanks for the heads up Peter. I'm ordering on another window right now.

LasciviousXXX · 06-13-2009, 12:36 PM

I order as well. Some days at the local PO there are tons of 'em and other days there are not. Just luck of the draw I guess.

Once they ran out of the primary DVD boxes I use and all they had were the large flat rate boxes. Needless to say there were LOTS of peanuts and bubble wrap in that particular package LOL

Just like a fast food restaurant running out of french fries.
