Title: Flat Rate Box mistake
Post by: sumner52000 on July 23, 2013, 06:20:45 AM

I didn't have any of the board game large flat rate boxes.  I had some thorsen items to ship to oilyrascal. I went online to usps and ordered 10 boxes. Email said it should take 7-10 days.  Yesterday was day 14.  I was delivered 10 boxes of 25 yesterday.  Now I have 250 large flat rate board game boxes.  I will use some of these but what can I do with the rest. Will the post office take them back?

My post office could never get them.
If you want to take a drive for icecreem make a loop and hit 4-5 PO and give them a present.

What everyone else said...post office lady at my PO says that one of her co-workers would order them sent to her house, then bring them in to stock the office.

Seems USPS has some issues like this, and they wonder why people get fed up with their antics!!!

What everyone said.
 I do the gameboard and padded envelope ordering for my town. These two my local PO girls just cannot get!

Keep as many as you need, and spread the wealth!
