[Cpt Flint]

I know; let’s have a spelling contest.

Prolly??

Yup - like as in PROBABLY

USPS doesn't X-ray so you can save your aluminum foil for something more important like your hat.

Hey that's good - a farraday cage for your head.

Never mark a package Fragile. It identifies the package for drop and kick test.

Saw this at a local filling station.
With fuel prices like this the bottom line on everything including retail shipping by common carrier is headed up up up.
Thank you Mr Biden.

Do you mean UPS not United States Postal Service? I did not know that the USPS used anything other than an official government building for the US mail service.

You are a city guy. Rural USPS rent from someone and do not own the property

WeI ship world wide via USPS everyday. 95% of our shipping is USPS, and we have very few damage claims, unlike UPS. USPS has paid us 100% for damaged goods.

You are ONE lucky dude buddy. The USPS has lost 2 of my shipments in the last 4 weeks???! Now I'm out $200.00 on just one of them!!

Ours just hit $4.35/gal for 87 octane. It cost me $65.00 to fill my wife's Toyota RAV 4. Can't keep THAT up for much longer!! I can't even afford to drive to my local PO anymore! Thank GOD we're retired and don't have to leave the house. This inflation ought to do the economy a world of good? NO ONE is going anywhere to spend money, can't afford to!!

That same station , a Racetrac chain store, went to $4.19 by yesterday, Monday morning. The photo posted was taken Saturday nite. That’s got to be the same load of gas in those tanks in less than 72 hours.
