    I have the order placed for the boxes to be delivered to my house. As soon as they get here I promise to get them out. Sorry guys

    My last order took ~10 days, hopefully they've gotten better image

    Sad that post offices can't work with one another to get 2-25ct bundles in!! They're getting the $3.85 per

    Sad thing is its $4.05 per now the bastages. And they cant even keep the boxes available.

    Jeff,

    I'm in the city and there is a rockstar(believe it or not they are efficient) post office less than a block from me. They are open on Sundays and till 9 all week. I'll look tomorrow to see if they have them and I can drop them off to you if they do. Are you looking for the same boxes that AJW used for the bb packs?

    LMK how many you still need and hopefully they'll have them...

    Zef ill shoot out and pick them up from you if you can get them. I still need 30 of the dang things. I am looking for the vhs boxes that ajw used or the small square ones. Apparently nobody from Buffalo Grove, Schaumburg or Libertyville ship in anything but priority envelopes as the incompetent USPS employees give me a blank stare when i ask for them. Then point me towards the 3 VHS boxes they have hanging ona hook that are like $2.50 a piece and aren't post office priority mail boxes. image

    Jeff-

    I'll check tomorrow and I will be in Deerfield all day after I hit the PO. I'll post or PM you if I get them. Should be around noon. If we don't hook up tomorrow if I get them we'll figure it out.

    The Cubs blew another one. Time to drink myself to sleep.

    If it turns out that additional postage is needed for this let me know. Anticipation makes the heart grow fonder as they say!!! But this is starting to drive me crazy!!!
  • Options
    The USPS no longer stocks the VHS priority boxes. The only way to get them is online and it can take 7-10 days to receive the package. I've noticed that some Post Offices are quite low in terms of packaging.... oh well.

    Well I have had my order in for awhile so hopefully not too much longer. Yeah the po's by me have almost no packing supplies.

    Don't let a tool like oddball with his upside down flag get under your skin, not worth it.

    thanks meuand The rest of the cards will go out tomorrow or tuesday. Only a few went out in the first wave due to a busy post office and a snotty postal worker at the front counter.

    One good solution you can create for yourself...keep ordering priority boxes so you can have them on hand. I cant imagine post offices not carrying enough...it's uncalled for IMO.
  • Options
    it hasnt even been the fact that they don't carry enough. I'm being told they don't carry them period. So then im like fine give me what you have they show me the cardboard envelopes and the huge $8 priority box.

    There are some sizes that post offices cannot get from their own supplier and the ones they get they cannot get them like you can by ordering online. I keep 2 to 3 extra cases of the tee shirt boxes and one case of the VHS boxes on hand most of the time.

    Many times I will go to my local PO and they will ask me for boxes, I trade them for priority tape that we cannot get anymore online.
