libs, almost as smart as lint asked: Why did 0bozo think that pointing out that the post office has problems would entice people to back the creation of another problem ridden government bureaucracy?

Hmm, no lib responses. Must be too hard or too embarrassing for them to respond.

Dr. Dave asked: When you mail a letter or package, how does the post office determine the weight, and then decide if the correct postage has been applied? Obviously, each letter and package cannot be manually examined due to the volume of mail. Machines must weigh the mail, but how does it decide that the stamps affixed meet or exceed the necessary amount, considering that they don’t have bar codes or other mechanical “readers”? Do they have machines that can “see” what each stamp looks like?

Stephen W asked: I have a few packages that I’ve ordered that have never shown up. After talking with the respective sellers, I’m starting to wonder if its the fault of the post office and that they have either lost or held onto my packages for whatever reason.
I heard that sometimes the post office holds auctions on some parcels that don’t arrive at their destinations or return to their senders, so how long do they hold onto these packages? I can’t make it to the post office in my town right away, but it would be helpful for me to know.

~♥Nikki♥~ asked: How long will the post office hold my package? It has been there for about 4 days already. How long will the post office keep it there for me? I’m really worried because I need the package before Wednesday!
What does the post office do if I don’t claim my package after a long time?

vendetta4hire asked: Well, I just tried to send something out today and apparently I didn’t have enough postage since they changed the pricing at the post office. How often does this happen? I am relatively new to using the post office, but if they keep the flat-rate stuff at this much, I’m going to use a lot of money.
How often do they change pricing?

Yu asked: I’ve been reading that the post office has the best exchange rate for US dollar to Japanese Yen, but I don’t have any idea how the whole process works. Do I make the money order to myself? Do I need a Japanese address? Do I cash the money order at the Japanese post office? If so, is there a post office at the Narita Airport? How many money orders can I purchase at a time?

Eywrshp asked: The post office web site says ” retail and electronic delivery confirmation are both entitiled to the same infomation”.
But some post offices refuse to give you an acceptance scan or a receipt for labels printed online even when you’ve included insurance in your mailing label.
How can you collect on a claim for lost mail if the post office will not give you a receipt?
You have no proof that you ever took the mail to the post office.
When you took it or what post office you took it to.
Is it right for the post office to refuse to give you receipt because you printed your postage online?

ᎵℇᎯℂђᎽ ᏦℇᎯηℇ asked:
I’m going to mail a small box internationally and I was wondering if the USPS post office provides free packaging material (bubble wrap, styrofoam peanuts, etc). Or can I purchase that stuff there? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

AZone asked:
I know you can order free boxes at usps.com, but do they have the free boxes at the actual post office? I ordered the boxes but it takes 10 days to get here and I need to ship things soon. Thanks!
Do they “have” free shipping supplies?
