Patty in Wisc · 03-27-2009, 11:26 PM

True story from a temporary mail carrier here: he rang my doorbell & said I had a letter with 10 cents postage due. No dime so I gave him a quarter. 5 minutes later I looked at it & it was from ME sent to a PO box. It was sent back to me because there was no one to pay the postage due there. If there is postage due & other end doesn't pay, it just comes back "return to sender". What a dummy! He was s'posed to just put it in my mailbox but he saw it stamped "Postage Due"...for the OTHER end.
When I ship plants, I write "FRAGILE" & "LIVE PLANTS" on box. Like I told Mitchel, when the clerk asks 10 questions like, want insurance? want delivery confirmation? etc etc, I grab them around the neck & say "it better get there"!
And to think...Priority just went up. For what??
