| - I usually avoid the Post Office, for good reason. Take the latest trip, for example. I go into this location to send two small items out of state, and I didn't want to travel all the way over to FedEx just to send a thimbleful of goods. My mistake. It won't happen again.
Unfortunately, I didn't have a box or tape on me, so I used one of the Post Office's teeny-weeny little boxes and some of their tape to package up my items. It turns out the box is $2.65. You'd think I was buying a box big enough to hold a refrigerator, not one closer to the size of a thimble. And guess what? That tape I used, which the Post Office so generously provided, is "priority tape." That's right, "priority tape." They don't tell you that when you borrow the tape, and of course they don't have any other tape for customers, so now I can either ship the 1 oz. thimble-sized box for $9.68 or redo the whole thing just to save a few bucks. I ate it.
But I hope no one affiliated with the U.S. Post Office ever wonders why we don't want to do business with you. This is how you treat us? But this is typical of any outfit that isn't really accountable to the customers.
Me, I hope to never set foot in the place again, but I doubt that will happen. Which is why they can get away with charging $9.68 to ship a 1 oz box the size of a thimble with fancy-schmancy "priority tape" on it.
