so i sold a zen vision:m to an ATOT'er in the sell/buy forum. i said i would ship out this monday but could not so i advised them i would ship out tuesday morning on my way to a business meeting.
i stopped at a post office in Secaucus, NJ in the AM on the way out. i had taped the bottom of the box shut but not the top as i had somethin gin the car to look for to put in the box as well. an accessory. i forgot to bring a roll of tape with me.
after waiting in line in secaucus for 7 minutes while 1 cashier did passport photos, and 4 other employees walked around playing with envelopes ignoring us in line, finally one of them opened up their register.
i said i would like to ship this first class and insured, when i politely asked for her for a quick tape job, she said we dont do that here. i said what if i get priority mail, they always use the priority mail tape and shut it with that. she said no. i said they always do at the post office in wayne, nj and cedar knolls, nj - she said well go there, or you can buy tape here. i said, u gotta be kidding me and left.
oh and that is true, in both wayne and cedar knolls, both places will tape my boxes shut with regular tape even if i ship first class - or priority tape if you use priority mail. id say one out of every 3 packags i ship i dont have the top taped shut cause i am putting something else in it after i leave the apartment.
so i went to the jersey city post office (one of them) after my meeting - this place wouldnt tape up the top of my box for me either. but they would provide priority mail tape for me if i shipped it priority mail. so i did.
WTF! CONSISTENCY PLEASE!
we pay their damn salaries and costs with our tax money, and they cant give up a little fuckin tape.
its just a little thing that ticked me off yesterday.
i just wanted to let it out and have people call me silly for being pissed about it, which is what probably willhappen shortly
