I guess it's time to stock up on those "forever stamps".

Don't even get me started on the USPS...I just caught my local mailman falsifying on-line delivery information because he didn't want to get out of his truck when it was raining. I'm seriously avoiding using the USPS at all costs. All my packages will go through other delivery companies, and I'm in the process of signing up for on-line bill pay.

Well, at least it will be an even number.

I have no complaints about our mail service. I do use on line bill pay for almost everything.

Ha! I just thought the exact same thing. There's going to be a run on them now.

I do think that the post office services are generally quite the bargain, really, and my own mail lady is terrific. But THAT is just not cool :eek:, and I don't blame you for avoiding the service at all!
