What do you guys want to happen with the US Postal Service?

[LurkerNoMore]

that's what I was talking about too.  I think it depends.  I found it not to be a saving but I'm sure there are others who have calculated different.  Maybe it just depends on what you're packing and where you're at.

Yeah, look into their business shipping options.  That is what I did.  They offer a few different ways to do it. 

From my end I use the Dymo 450 twin turbo (or whatever it is called), all I have to do is highlight the addy on the screen, click print, the label comes out and it gives me the postage option box to print the postage right there at the same time.  I do everything and if it is a bunch of photo CDs from vacations going out to customers I arrange a pick up at the house with mailman the next day.  If it is single items, I click two or three boxes on the postage option panel and have it automatically set up for including a delivery confirmation # and insurance (if I am shipping something expensive like my lens or other equipment).  Then take it to the P.O. and drop it in the box.

The post office near me is awful.  The clerks all seem like recovering dopers, underachieving Asians, whites who are stuck in the early 80's, and packed with people who make you feel you are in the DMV or welfare office.   

Maybe its different elsewhere, but not in NYC.   I try to avoid the place like the plague. 

hmmmm..let me guess which race you assigned the term "recovering dopers" to.

NYC has a large number of non black recovering dopers.

that is true...but not in 333's mind

Nah, the blacks I often encounter in the post office are usually just miserable mofos, not much different than the rest of the clerks. 

The dopers comment was not against blacks, but strung out wierdos who always seem to find a home there.
