Just went into PO on Sat to get flat rate boxes. Sure enough I saw this thread and went and looked. EVERY one of them was Priority. They were the only ones out in the lobby. I guess I have to ask for the flat rate ones. I am going to get the manila envelopes.

This is still making no sense to me but its your country and if you are all happy with it...

I know they offer a lot of options and it can be confusing, but did you stop to consider that the number of options are not to get more money out of you, but to find ways to send your stuff less expensively?
Why is it that we all tend to immediately jump to the negative side of something when actually we are the ones in the wrong? The USPS provides us with boxes to ship things in...they only ask that we use their particular services when we use them. And then we get mad at USPS when we try to cheat? Something doesn't seem right to me about that. Ladies...we all need to play by the rules and if you don't know the rules, you need to ask. Thats just MHO.

HOWEVER, the workers are federal workers, and the PO is under federal government jurisdiction and control, they can't sneeze without the Postal Commison's Ok.
