A fan of the United States Post Office? It can't be. How is that possible? Well it is. Let's…read morestart with how affordable it is to ship something via the USPS. Let's start with US First Class Shipping. If your item is less than 13 ounces and fits the right dimensions, you can ship US First Class mail. It's about a 2 to 3 bucks across the USA and it comes with free tracking. If your item is more than 13 ounces, your best bet is to do the Flat Rate Shipping. Guess what, the Flat Rate boxes and envelopes are FREE. Yes, you heard me FREE. Let me spell it out for you. F-R-E-E. I know you're saying, " What's the catch?" There is no catch. go to their website and order your supplies. Here's the run down on the supplies. The Flat Rate Box can double as Flat Rate or Priority Express Mail. Flat Rate is typically two to three business days while the Priority is the next day. Sometimes the Flat Rate and Priority Mail can be the same day. If it does not need to be there absolutely positively overnight, just ship it Flat Rate. Flat Rate comes with $50 of insurance and Free tracking. Go to www.usps.com Click on Postal Store, Then on the right, click on FREE SHIPPING SUPPLIES Order the Dual Use Priority Mail / Flat Rate Box 11" x 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 OR Dual Use Priority Mail / Flat Rate Box 11-7/8 x 3- 3/8 x 13-5/8 If you are a Padded Envelope fanatic like me, you can also order the Priority Mail Padded Flat Rate Envelope. 9-1/2 x 12-1/2 Now that you have your FREE supplies, you are on your way to go to the Meridian Post Office. Your agents are Valerie, Amy, and Mark on most days. They are all great and customer focused. Most likely you will be in line about 10-12 people deep. Most of the customers in front of you don't know how to mail or didn't take advantage of the FREE Supplies and the others are picking up their packages with their little brown slips. You can always use the two automated machines in the lobby. They will work with your Flat Rate boxes and padded envelopes. If you choose to see Valerie, Amy, or Mark, here's some tips. (1) Answer their question whether or not the item is fragile, liquid or hazardous. Matter of fact, check online before you go whether or not the item you are sending can be sent via USPS. (2) Know when you want the item to be delivered (3) They will ask you if you need further mailing supplies or cash back so be prepared. Lastly, don't be that guy or gal that walks in and does the sigh of all time. I appreciate their service and the fact they do it so efficiently. Plus, I'm saving a bundle by shipping via the USPS.

There is a friendly banter that seems fun and personable which I have observed with those who appear to be regulars. (I am new to Star) I recently witnessed a lady working in the front with pretty eyes who was so kind and patient with an elderly woman while she chatted. When I commented on how I appreciated that she did not rush this older lady, but took time to hear her story, she told me, " I have elderly clients come in that only buy one stamp maybe once or twice a week and I think this may be some of the only interactions they get. They just buy a stamp so they can have a brief conversation with someone." This warmed my heart, and I hope it warms yours. With people like this working here it makes me want to come back. Let's all remember this is the post office and not UPS or FedEx. They are not for profit and so they do not create our labels, or tape up our packages for us. Those are expectations for the profitable corporations that charge double. I still marvel that they will carry my letter across the United States for a fraction of a dollar. I know it has doubled since it was 33 cents in 1999. Uhhh, what about the cost of food in the last 5 years?
