United States Postal Service

I'll start off by saying there is one gentlemen there that is very helpful, gives advice on cheaper shipping and helps tape your boxes shut securely.



It ends there. I wasn't allowed to mail a package I had with individually bubble-wrapped glasses with insurance until they insisted I add more bubble wrap. After she "helpfully" gave me some and I had used it in packing as she instructed, she then informed me I had to pay for that. She repeated this several times. I speak English just fine and have excellent comprehension skills. GOT IT.



Then she would not allow me to tape my box closed. The tape I brought and have shipped 5 previous packages with that month with was unacceptable and I was expected to buy the post office's $4 tape. NO. I had my own tape brought to me from home to save the extra extra unneeded expense.



FINALLY, I was allowed to reach the clerk and I made a point of taping it in front of them, because at this time I had been there an hour and just wanted them to know the sting of anger I felt. The clerk was polite and said that wasn't necessary and I didn't need to do that and the tape I had originally was just fine to use. HUH. I knew this, but I wanted them to all know that their line Nazi was ignorant to this knowledge. So I got my package shipped, paid for the bubble wrap and got it insured.



It arrived BROKEN.



This is the second package I have shipped from this post office that has arrived broken. I'm thinking there may be a connection with this hub?



I recommend the W Mercury Post Office. So far all employees are polite, give good packing advice, don't haggle you on unnecessary expenses and JUST GET IT SHIPPED.
