post office? What do I do to have something mailed to post office instead of home?

Post office?? You know how you have to pay for shipping, and stamps, etc. at the post office?? Where does all that money go? Do they just recycle it to print more stamps and pay their employees? Or does it pay Mr. Post Office's sports car? (LOL). What do you think?

Does your post office give you an acceptance scan and a receipt for electronic delivery confirmation? The post office web site says " retail and electronic delivery confirmation are both entitiled to the same infomation". But some post offices refuse to give you an acceptance scan or a receipt for labels printed online even when you've included insurance in your mailing label. How can you collect on a claim for lost mail if the post office will not give you a receipt? You have no proof that you ever took the mail to the post office. When you took it or what post office you took it to. Is it right for the post office to refuse to give you receipt because you printed your postage online?

What is the nearest post office to this address? 5555 Magnatron Blvd Suite J San Diego CA 92111 Well, according to the company where I ordered my product, there is no need to include the name of the post office nearest to their company location if I'm paying by money order. But the clerk at my local post office insists that I write in the name of the post office, saying that only the receiver's address is not enough. So, may I know what is the nearest post office to this address? I live outside of the US, so I'm not familiar with the locations... Thank you.

How long does the post office hold a package? I have a few packages that I've ordered that have never shown up. After talking with the respective sellers, I'm starting to wonder if its the fault of the post office and that they have either lost or held onto my packages for whatever reason. I heard that sometimes the post office holds auctions on some parcels that don't arrive at their destinations or return to their senders, so how long do they hold onto these packages? I can't make it to the post office in my town right away, but it would be helpful for me to know.

Is there any good argument against privatizing the post office? The post office is inefficient at delivering mail and has been out-competed in every area in which private enterprise is legally allowed to compete with it. People do not use the post office to deliver packages, but rather Fedex or UPS. Is there any good reason why we shouldn't just privatize the post office, abolish its monopoly privileges, and let it compete on the free market? The only remotely respectable argument against privatization of the post office that I can think of is that the inefficiency of the post office is a good argument against those who advocate that the government start other business enterprises. Other than the fact that privatizing the post office will mean that post office employees will no longer be able to be paid outrageous salaries, why shouldn't we privatize the post office?

How to cash an international post office money order in Japan?

How does the post office determine that the correct postage has been affixed? When you mail a letter or package, how does the post office determine the weight, and then decide if the correct postage has been applied? Obviously, each letter and package cannot be manually examined due to the volume of mail. Machines must weigh the mail, but how does it decide that the stamps affixed meet or exceed the necessary amount, considering that they don't have bar codes or other mechanical "readers"? Do they have machines that can "see" what each stamp looks like?

If the post office wants to save money, how about cutting service on Saturdays? Why staff the post office when most businesses are opened half a day?

That would be less part-time fill ins at the post office with carriers working a normal 5 day work week.

Australia Post: How long can an airmail parcel wait at the post office before being returned to the sender? I bought an item on ebay from an American seller two weeks ago, but the seller was only able to post on Wednesday the 3rd due to problems with pay pal sending the funds. The parcel is being sent via airmail; however I am doubtful that the parcel will arrive by Thursday when I leave for a 2 1/2 week holiday. I will be coming back on the 29th January 2007. I know that Australia post keeps the parcel in the local post office when it arrives and leaves a slip telling the receiver it is ready to be picked up, but there is a time which they return it to the sender and charge postage for it. It is a relatively heavy item ~ 5kg and cost around $50 to send. How long can it wait before they send the parcel back? Is there anything I can do to prevent them from sending it back? Would it still be there if I went to collect it on the 29th?

How does the Post Office identify counterfeit stamps? So I was mailing off a letter, and I was thinking, "man, there are a billion different stamp designs out there. I could easily take any picture and print it out on a blank sticker and mail it off." Ok, obviously that would be Mail Fraud and therefore a Federal Offence not worth committing, but wondering if the post office really has any way of identifying fake stamps. They don't seem to be encoded with any anti-counterfeit designs. The following answer is incorrect: "In the U.S., postage stamps are protected by the Information Based Indicia (IBI) technology. IBI is an encrypted 2-dimensional bar code that makes counterfeiting more difficult and easier to detect. Each IBI is unique. It is machine-readable." This techonology is only used as another method for printing stamps for consumers "as needed". My question is in reference to a pre-paid stamp where there is clearly now visible bar code on it. Further, IBI technology has only been developed since the 2000s, though older stamps are still valid for use.
