Prices went up January 3 I believe. Will say this, with the incompetence in USPS I have been seeing I may no longer ship to New York and may switch to UPS shipping.
Never refund in the face of feedback extortion. You can refuse and eBay will back you up and if they leave a negative feedback remove it.

Scanning is an absolute when dropping offâŠotherwise they can claim they never received the item if lost.
Scanning when delivered you would think is also a requirement because not doing so puts USPS at risk people claiming it was never delivered and demanding reimbursementâŠeven though they did receive it.
Nothing about that statement makes any sense.

My go-to excuse for waiting to get it scanned is that âitâs for workâ and/or âTheyâll rip me a new one if I donât get a receipt.â Weâre all just trying to keep the boss man happy you know? I have actually had work packages get lost and that paper trail is the only thing that will save you.
Ha. Went in today. Two clerks. Two customers. One clerk old tall guy flirting with the young lady. Other customer is a complete idiot.
Non-tall guy clerk âyou dropping off? Leave them on the counterâ
Me âno, I will waitâ
Non-tall guy clerk âuhâ
Tall guy clerk âyou have the prettiest smileâ (to the young lady. Young lady visibly uncomfortable
10 minutes later. Tall guy clerk calls me over and says â you could just leave them on the counterâ
Me âno I need the receiptâ
Tall guy clerk âI need to get paper to get you a receiptâ.
Me âI will wait.â
Waits five minutes as tall guy goes in the back and is holding a conversation with whomever is back there.
Comes back. No paper. Says âjust go ahead and leave them on the counterâ.
Me âI waited this long I am getting a receiptâ
Non-tall guy finishes up with the idiot and holds out his hand and says âhereâ in an annoyed voice.
Scans packages. Gives me a receipt
I say thank you. Crumple it up. Throw it in the trash and walk out.
Mercari updates they are scanned about an hour later.

I use the receipt to open the door so I donât have to touch any surfaces 1000 other sick people have touched throughout th day.
Then I crumple it up and toss it on the floor, passenger side.
Yâall need to find new USPS offices. Mine never give me issues to get receipt and mine also has automatic doors on one side. If I use the other side, I just use my feet to push the doors open.

My postal drop off location just got an automated package receiver. Its the greatest thing, you scan the package yourself, it prints you a receipt (you can even get it emailed to you) and you put the package in the slot. Out in under 30 seconds.

yep! automated package receivers are da bomb! Itâs all diy and Iâm happy for it
I like the machines that scan and give a receipt. They are rad. I also am also pleased my USPS locations near me have mostly nice and cool folks working. My mail carrier is awesome, too. FedEx tho, thatâs always a fiacso.
Thermal receipt paper is bad for you.
Ours has one too. I have to post a picture. Itâs a big rolling drum door. You put your comics in it and they fall into a bin. It can fit an old school CRT tv. Someone puts dumbbells in it and smash whatâs underneath.
And yet they hand it right to youâŠso Iâm already touching it. Not sure Iâm understanding what point youâre making.
Thermal printer paper frequently contains endocrine-disrupting chemicals, primarily
Bisphenol A (BPA) or its substitute Bisphenol S (BPS), which can be absorbed through the skin. Handling these receipts can lead to increased exposure linked to potential health issues like reproductive, metabolic, and hormonal disorders, and some studies suggest cancer risks.
I think those Marvel Oreo cookies I posted yesterday had the same ingredients

I ordered food once from a restaurant and itâs the type of place you donât have a waiter or waitress but theyâll bring your food out to your table with the number they gave you to put up. My plate shows up and the receipt (thermal paper) is actually on side of plate but in my food⊠I pointed this out to the guy at the register who also happened to be the manager, heâs like, the paper is harmless and Iâm like, no itâs not and explained to him. He still pushed back saying it happens all the time and I shouldnât worry.
Went back to my table and kind of scooped the food off to the side that was touched by the receipt and the manager walked by as I was telling the girlfriend itâs time to leave a review, so Iâm sure he overheard me. A few moments later he stops by, apologizes how he reacted, comped our meal and I got a free cookie too. I guess he went and googled it but despite the inks and paper itself, I didnât order food with paper stuck on it either, itâs just gross. He could have just avoided the whole confrontation by just replacing my dish with a new one.

My mail has not been delivered in three days. They say the cannot get to the mailbox.
Mostly because the guy who lives next to me keeps parking his SUV in front of the mailboxes and my driveway. Also put his trash cans out there at the end of my driveway and hasnât pulled them back in. County website said they were not picking up on Monday and would try on Wednesday if our road was passable. It is not. But his trash is still out there blocking my mailbox and my driveway. I have slid into the trash cans a couple of times. Cracked the one.
Not sure if this rant is about usps or my neighbor any more, but my signed midtown comics keep getting pushed back because the mailman canât deliver because of my neighbor.
