Post Office: 0, Me: 1
Well, if I just count this go-round. If I count all four times I have now sold books online and mailed them with a Merchandise Return Label via Media Mail, the score is actually now Post Office: 2, Me: 2. But I am equipped to never lose again, on this matter at least.
As a public service announcement, in case you may be selling books online and sending them with a Merchandise Return Label in the future and wish to insure the package at your cost, Section 507 of the Domestic Mail Manual, Mailer Services 10.5.2, Insurance added by sender, clearly states the sender has the option of adding insurance to a Merchandise Return Label.
Just in case. Have it in writing. Take that post office!
Is it so much to expect for someone to actually know the rules and regulations involved in their own job? Or at least be willing to look them up themselves when you claim they may be mistaken instead of just telling you that you are wrong and not listening to you? :mutter:
Have it in writing.

I’m SO lucky - our local USPS is really good on giving me what I need for our ebay sales. We live in a small city, though, and they know both me & dh. Sorry you’re having such a pain with them!
ryn: I’m just so furious about the 30%, at them and at me for not even noticing it happened. But - it’s working well, because it’s making us more focused on getting rid of them.

down with the credit cards! bah. I hope that you can get rid of them with minimal damage.
The USPS is getting to know me… I think they may hide when they see me coming. lol. I’m running out of textbooks to sell though so they may be spared soon.
