I used to make an almost daily trip to the post office, and over time, I saw some really interesting packaging creations. :) It's great that you can order free supplies online, but they sure take forever to arrive!

When my hu...I really shouldn't laugh, but I am. When my husband was deployed I was at the post office every week to mail at least 3 boxes of stuff. I was also mailing tools because his unit wouldn't buy them. In one instance I had to send 2 pipe bender-things (I truly don't remember what they're called) and a 4-ft level. I couldn't find a box that would fit these items, so a postal employee told me I could tape several smaller boxes together. We all had a very big laugh at my over 4-ft stack of taped boxes. I too ordered things online and it took forever. When they finally showed up though, I had enough boxes to get me through the deployment.Stephanie P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13658033207903210456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-49819116328708336072013-07-02T05:44:54.437-06:002013-07-02T05:44:54.437-06:00I have thought the exact same thing!

Even when it's traceable I can see that it's stays in the custom for a week, when it's just some metal details for my jewelry or simple shoes from china for 20$ And you even can't right any complains because there will be no good of it because it's partly a government business. And as we now, government doesn't react to complains about it.

They have no incentive to be open additional hours. It doesn't work so well for a company that's trying to make a profit, though.J.Banehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195276109146618481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-2649395015469865062013-07-01T20:26:30.706-06:002013-07-01T20:26:30.706-06:00Yay for it being here soon! <3 I'm excited!...Yay for it being here soon! <3 I'm excited!<br /><br />And about the darned Postal Service: <br />The one we have near us has only boxes. Nothing fancy, just boxes. And just the two smallest sizes of boxes at that! I can hardly even fit a pack of cards in one of them. I know our post office is small, but you'd think in a farming town you'd have boxes big enough to fit things farmers might get/receive/need to mail.<br />They've also been changing their hours stupidly lately. The post office itself is only open 9-4. M-F. The window is only open 9-12. I know it's a small farming town but some people work! Geez postal service, it's like they're just trying to anger everyone lately!<br /><br />I went off topic as well....but in the end it still sends the same message: GEH POSTAL SERVICES! :)Britthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04416006520183998353noreply@blogger.com
