Post Office Rant----UPDATE, Now even more pissed!

Original post by skinny237

I was very excited to go to the post office to get my stamps on Sat so I could mail out my invites today. My RSVP is a post card and for some reason it costs more to mail the postcard than it does my whole invite. They said I needed to use a 62 cent stamp for the RSVP. It didn't make sense so I went to another post office and they told me the same thing. The people in both post offices were so rude. Why should a 1 page rsvppost card cost so much? Yes, it's a square, but it's still smaller and weighs much less than the invite.I am really sorry that you are pissed off that you have to work the day ater the 4th of July but it's not my fault. Also, the 59 cent stamp for the invite is so ugly. They really should give you color choices.

Okay, so here's the part that really annoyed me...

I went to mail the invites this morning and I asked for them to be hand cancelled. The lady was like, 'I'll see what I can do', and flung my bag of invites onto another counter. I said (very nicely) that they are my wedding invites and it's very important to me that they don't get destroyed in a machine. She kept saying, I'll see what I can do.
I said, 'Are you positive that they will be hand cancelled?' She said, 'No, I don't guarantee anything.' I finally gave up and just asked, 'Are they at least going to be mailed today?' And, yet again, she said, 'I'll see what I can do.'

I offically hate the Huntington Station, Melville, and Camden Plaza post offices.


UPDATE:

A co-worker just received his invite. It was NOT hand-cancelled and the freaking thing was bent and horribly marked up. I am so freaking pissed!
My mom is calling the post office right now.

Oh man that *****, I am sorry. That is pretty crappy that they wouldnt hand cancel them. Doesnt it cost more to do that? I hope i dont run into the same problem, i was planning on have them HC since the sample i got was really beat up from the machines.

sometimes its not the fault of the post office where you mailed them.

i know that my mailman mangles EVERY single invitation we've ever received.

he bends them in half!

i've told DH that when we buy a house we're gonna have a HUUUUGE mailbox so everything fits in without being destroyed!
