i learned something new about mailing packages thru the postal system.


in our post office here in texas, we have an automatic postal service station, you walk up to it, put your package on the scale, punch in the data, and it gives you the postage and then i put it in the mail 'drawer' (the boxes are too big for a slot!!)...have not had a problem yet...i thought these auto stations were common thru out the usa.......
