Another set-to with the post office
Today I went to the downtown post office and gave the clerk a 4" x 7"
letter, postage attached and told him I wanted it insured at the minimum rate. After a blank look he told me the post office does not insure letters. ( Hello, where have you been? ) I left and went to Woods post office, same story. I told the postmaster to read the regs and went home to get mine. I returned and the clerk said I had a first class letter while the regs said First Class mail and still wouldn't accept it. Postmaster said it contained personal informatuon which was not allowed. ( Hello, little pieces of paper with jagged images from Iran is not personal inormation.) Took the letter to a rural post office and it was accepted without question and I was given a USPS receipt that says 1st Class Letter and shows the posatge and insurance fee. SO, I sicked the big dogs at USPS on the local post office...again. They hate to see me come in the door. Ralphale, the OLD one |

Ralphale, the OLD one Hope you copied [xerox] everything pertinent and sent it to the Postal Inspectors!- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Nope, I just called the manager at the Mailing Requirements Office and he was going to advise he Postmaster that I can insure First Class Letters. He is on top of all the DMM Regulations. My experience with the Postal Inspectors, I found them unreachable by phone. They are too busy dealing with fraud. I had a couple of incidents where the window clerk would not let me use the dater to cancel my own mail. I also had an incident where the window clerk would not honor the hand back service. The DMM regulations can be a bit confusing, especially when the clerk tries to disect them. RtOo |

Hi,
I have always been told to write on the envelope "First Class, Third Class Enclosed". That way it can be insured. At least there used to be something in the DMM to this effect. Jerry B |

You should tell her you -=are=- a first class male - now accept my posting or get a pasting! [must be a recent college graduate to be this 'blonde'.] Makes one of my past statement that a person must have an IQ well under 100 to work for this post office in this town. RtOo |
