<p>[QUOTE="lakebreeze, post: 306699, member: 2720"]I mail about 15 - 30 dimes to buyers per week, one dime in identical bubble mailers. awhile ago my little local post office upped the price to mail from $0.52 to $1.13 per envelope. One day I happened to go to a post office in another town and they charged $0.80 for the same identical item. Why the lack of consistency I wondered, so I did a little test, I took 4 identical envelopes all contained 1 thin dime and mailed each from a different post office. Guess what!!!! I was charged 4 different prices for identical items $0.41-0.52-0.80 and 1.13. So I continued this test and found that different clerks in the same post office all charged a different amount. This really ticks me off!! Typical government operation, screwed up!!! When you add up the difference between the hi and the lo you get $0.72 times 15-30 envelopes a week over time this really adds up.Any other mailers noticed this in your area??????????????[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
