It's no wonder the USPS is going out of business!
I arrived at the Post Office at 3pm.
I had an Express Mail envelope that HAS to be delivered tomorrow.
There wasn't a single form to be found on any of the tables, and the line for the windows stretched around every turn of the ropes-line -- because each person's time at the window took forever while they filled out the forms they could have filled out while standing on line!!
The moment I got on the line I asked the 'floating' Post Office worker if my Express Mail would absolutely be delivered on Saturday, and he assured me it would.
Over an hour later I arrived at the window, filled out the form, only to be told that I was too late to get the last overnight delivery, and that my package would be delivered on Tuesday! I asked for a Supervisor, who took another 10 minutes to get to my window, and she said that I was 'too late'. When I explained that I'd been IN THE POST OFFICE AND ON LINE since 3pm she just shrugged and said there wasn't anything she could do.
I took my envelope and walked down the street to Federal Express, where it is now happily on it's way for a Saturday delivery.
I believe that, other than the unavoidable purchase of stamps, my business with the USPS is over. I shall use any other mail service I can find in the future.
AAARGH. What a waste of time.
