(Person from the South group jumping in here..)The Small Town PO Massacre
To get the full jist of today's PO problem you will first need to listen to "Alice's Restaraunt" the full-length original 1967 version. Go listen now, I'll wait.
Now you ready to hear about today's PO debacle. First, was the problem of the bulging top. That garnered me the stink-eye and grumbles about the box should not be bulging. I was appropriately apologetic. But then, it happened.
One of the full size bottles of perfume decided to leak right there and then. I'm kinda praying that the PO worker will just think I have bathed in the stuff, but oh no, she's a canny old bird. So right there in our tiny, yet crowded PO I get read the riot act, with many a dire warning.Luckily I had not clicked the agreement that I was not mailing perfumes or hazardous materials. Amongst the dressing down it was mentioned that if I did ship perfume Priority it would not be a local or state offence, but a Federal one and would result in the Dept of Homeland Security coming after me.
I have removed the full size perfumes. They have no caps, they leak, and I got embarrassed enough today. I don't want them but the hassle just isn't worth it.
I got a new box, I'm wiping off everything in hopes that the perfume scent will fade. I'll be airing out all of it tomorrow and will mail out Wednesday.
"You can get anything you want......"
Oh my gosh, that is the worst!! I had the box before nikkimouse, and was SO worried about that happening with those same perfumes! They were in the box then as well.
In our South swap we agreed for the next go-round that we would limit it to one large flat rate box, and if the contents were going to exceed that then the person could have the right to edit some things out of the box just so it would all fit.. Because it's just so much! And you definitely don't want to have to pay for two boxes.
I hope your next attempt at the post office goes better!!
