Needless to say, this is a joke...the rules of the post office should be followed the same in all states. I get along great with both post offices..I bake them cookies every once in a while. Hope that they lighten up a little again, as this is killing my international orders as well as my customers clearly across the country!
I don't think it's a matter of having lenient post offices. As long as you're following the rules, so should they. See my previous post, print out the page from their own manual, and show it to them.
