I like the USPS and like FedEx because they deliver in the mornings and UPS doesn’t get here until 3-5 in the afternoon. (I like my stuff early ;)

I’m glad you can compliment the USPS, but here’s my rant. In January I read about the new Hershey kisses commemorative stamp offered but only at select locations. So, being online all-the-time, I went to the USPS website, ordered my 20 stamp booklet, paid the $1 extra for the privilege of ordering online! and figured I had plenty of time for a Valentine’s Day direct mail piece I was sending to select clients.

Feb. 14th came and went, no stamps. Can’t find any customer service tab to click at usps.gov, so figured the order never went through. Rec’d my credit card statement end of Feb. and there’s the charge, but fortunately a phone number accompanies the order number. Call the 800- number, told item’s shipped, “must be the new, larger mailer they’re using,” says the operator. Don’t know why this would matter. I’m thinking little, bitty package of stamps is more likely to get lost than a 14×16 mailer. They issued a credit. No harm, no foul except that my clients didn’t receive my great sales pitch letter.

Why do I know it’s a 14×16 mailer? Because 10 days later, a large, red, white and blue mailer arrives with my stamps! It’s now almost Easter. What I am going to do with Hershey kisses, love stamps?

I used them to send good vibes to all the service providers I love to hate…cable, telephone, city water & sewage.

That last line ought to open a new line of rants. Did you read the latest about Sprint?
