Mad At The Stupid Post Office

such is the state of democracy ...

I would really like to complain to someone in charge and have felt that way all day. I appreciate you telling how to! I just think its wrong, saying nobody buys stamps when they can't! How can they buy them if they aren't there?

I talked to some of my family today and they said that post office is why they do all their business online. I didn't know they had had any problems.

I have the USPS catalogs ( came today!) and I have ordered a few things from them online and will order more, its just so much nicer to drive 5 minutes and get them instead of waiting a few days. And the po is the only place to buy stamps within a few hours of me!

I am going to my "nice" post office tomorrow. The Richard Wright stamp is being released tomorrow, the dedication ceremony is in Chicago. The postmaster there is a collector and she is awesome!

Stephanie.....

You have found the answer to your problem......stay away from the PO that treats you poorly.....enjoy the visit where they cater to your needs.

Very good advice Tom. I was just thinking the same thing.

i went back to the same philatelic center..still closed..I wont go back to that place ever again...I would have been a sure buyer if I found something interesting (It says in the sign in my previous post that the materials are available in the normal cashier but how would I know what I will be buying right?)

Stefani:

A couple years ago, I wrote a respectful letter of complaint to Postmaster Potter about the marker monkey and enclosed two examples of abuse.

I have yet to receive a reply -- not even a form letter. I realize Potter never saw the letter, but I assumed some staffer would at least address my concerns. I bet if I had written to the chairman of Pepsi, Google, Ford, etc., I would have received a reply.

Alas.... KirkS

Here is the finished cover that I had problems with getting handback service.

Nice cover, stamperdude.

And that's a cute little feller too

KirkS,
Thanks I finally got him to go to bed at 9:30. I am dreading all the candy he'll get tomorrow at an Easter egg hunt and on Sunday from the grandparents. Check out the Easter post for another cachet cover featuring my son.

Nice work, stamperdude! I miss my boys being that small. I was putting together their Easter baskets today, and I could have cried, remembering how easy they were to please at that age. Now,as teens, they don't really want an Easter basket, but I still do it. :(

That coveer will be something you will treasure when he's older.
