[Palmetto Balsa]

You said you are selling on ebay... If you don't already, try the click and ship option and pay for the shipping on line and print you label. If has a bar code with delivery confirmation and it seems that the packages arrive in about 18-hrs. to most any continental destination. I think the bar code will tell the machines any information they need to move it along the system. The fewer employees that handle it the better. Even the 3oz. first class packages I print labels for seem to get better treatment and arrive faster. I have had one bubble envelope package that seemed to to have been destroyed when it was caught in some kind of belt system that just cooked it.

I took the one that was destroyed back to the Post Master and showed it to them and wanted to know what they could to rectify the problem. He proceeded to tell me how much my package cost them in the machine it might have broken and the time lost on the line and showed me that it didn't say fragile. What do you do when they say something like that but turn around and walk to the door, so you can get enough momentum to clear the 4' counter when you assume the flying burrito position in an attempt to attain satisfaction on the Post Master.
OK, thats what I would have liked to have done. I just asked for him to wright his supervisors number down for me and when I left I threw it away.
