I only say they can't if they had to long term. They may not have to if everyone believes in their smoke and mirrors.

I'm on the other end of this Post Office thing. I received a notice in the mail today that I can pick up my item at the post office and $3.08 postage due. I already contacted the seller on E-Bay and he's going to reimburse me the $3.08

The flat rate boxes also went up again. Now $8.95 or something like that. I just sent out one and was shocked at how much they have gone up in a few short years.
I pay it with a big smile every single time I ship 50 pounds of wheat cents. I don't know, I'll agree that the PO is one of the most poorly run businesses in the world. Ask 10 different employees the same question and get 10 different answers. BUT, less than 50 cents to have someone pick up an envelope at my door and deliver it to my Uncle's door 3,000 miles away within a few days is pretty impressive if you ask me. The punk kid next door won't lick the stamp for half a buck. |

As a conclusion to what I mentioned here to Ken about that letter I sent with a bit of a bulge, it turns out I stuck him with an additional 17-cents. Sorry, Ken. I think I made it up on the subsequent deal...as long as that one doesn't come postage due!

Yes, Graceoutcast
I had to pay $3.08 postage due because the PO person in the state where my E-Bay item was mailed from put a Delivery Confirmation Sticker on a first class business size envelope. At least the seller is refunding me the postage due amount.

DC availability has actually improved. It has always needed to be 3/4 of an inch thick, it doesn't any more..... http://pe.usps.gov/Archive/Html/DMM...810/S918.htmEven a machinable parcel under 3/4 is eligible for it now. Regular flat business envelopes have never been eligible. |

Another change, according to one of our post office clerks, is that overseas mail no longer goes by surface (ship), but by air mail.
Must be very slow planes because I've had a small package on the way to Austrakia for nine days now.
