My post office is a small town one and it varies greatly with who the
postmaster/mistress is. Some are very good and some you want to hold a mirror
in front of them to see if they are still alive. The best I had for shipping
stuff was a woman who was an ebayer herself. She knew exactly how to get
something anywere. Unfortuneitly she was soon promoted to a bigger job. She
also was a good example why one should be careful being less that honest with
descriptions, because you really don't know how influential the person on the
other end of the line is. She had a purchase of a doll go bad with the
description being much less that advertised. I bet that within a month
everyone in town that dealt with ebay knew about it.
