Automan2164 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Hey all, just placing an order for some boxes and stickers... Didn't know how many people knew about this but... http://shop.usps.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductCategoryDisplay?beginIndex=0&pageSize=10000&langId=-1&storeId=10001&catalogId=10152&categoryId=13354 Its the USPS website. They offer free items, like smaller boxes, stickers, and such. I usually get the 12"X12"X8" boxes, they come in handy, and come in 10-25 box bundles, for FREE. :D Check it out, Let me know what you think. Rob L.

johnnyc Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Or do what I do, and walk into the local post office, grab what you need and go home. :???: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 My local post office seldom has the size boxes I need, especially the flat rate sizes that I use a lot. Usually you get the stuff within three days after ordering too. Good deal! I have to give the USPS credit. They have really cleaned up their act lately and are much more efficient than before. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's cause you live over there with the rich folks.... Rich folks?!?! I live in Harvard, IL!!! Our town is based around a plastic cow... :D I think we are the sharp drop-off from chicago to the country. Past us (towards y'all in Rockford) things only get worse... ;) Money is a distant memory in this town. Rob L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I have to give the USPS credit.

Snapped the frame clean in half. Stoopid me didn't put any insurance on the package, either. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reson46 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I have to give the USPS credit. They have really cleaned up their act lately and are much more efficient than before. :D Must be your local post office. I swear they only know how to hire elementary school dropouts around here. No matter what time of day you go, a trip to the post office wastes a minimum of 45 minutes of your day. Thankfully, with carrier pick up, I rarely have to deal with them anymore. :dunce: Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james750 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Ive been pretty happy with UPS and USPS with all of my shipping needs, but then again, I rarely ship anything. Haven't tried Fedex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I've never used FedEx, but everything that's been delivered by them has just been thrown on the porch. The only time the guy bothered to walk it to the door, I happened to see them driving up so I walked outside. UPS always walks to the door, and USPS usually does. Depends on the driver.
