USPS Wow This is just weird..

I am on vacation in Garden Grove until tomorrow, so I had 4 coins that needed to be dropped off at our host.
I called PGCS and asked if they were going to have the open friday again and was told no. I asked if I could just drop them off at there front door no.
So I decided to just go to there PO on friday morning. I figured since this is the office pcgs picks up there coins in would go into there bin.
Didn't happen that way and reading from the bottom up you can see my coins (without ins) went on a trip.
Anaheim is where my coins were stolen years ago so I try to avoid that one......Oh well the coins are now back in Newport Beach waiting for mondays pickup........Just Weird to me...Enjoy

Have you noticed there is no slot for "Local Mail" at the post office anymore?
<< <i>There is no sorting done at the local post offices anymore. All mail (even local) goes to the sorting center (Anaheim in this case) to be sorted and comes back to be delivered. I guess only the government can see a savings in this method.

Yup..it's been like that for a while now. All mail, even local mail, goes to a BMC- sorted and routed to a BMC that is assigned to a PO that handles the recipients zip code and then shipped to the PO for eventual delivery.

It's computerized and likely not worth the effort to figure in exceptions.

<< <i>Interesting. I wonder if you could ask the postal worker to carry it over to the area for the box holder? I wonder what their answer would be, too. >>
How would you fare if you disregarded a directive from your superiors?

how some of the private shipping companies (Fed-Ex, UPS, etc.) handle this. I know that at one time ALL
Fed-Ex packages went through Nashville -- might still be the way it works.

I think you mean Memphis (not Nashville)?
Many have 2 slots for mail - local and all others
the local is hand sorted for their PO, al others goes to a sorting center and redistributed.

In purchasing and selling coins via Ebay, I've more than a few times noticed packages taking strange paths and times. Recently I purchased a coin from a seller in Carson City, Nevada. It went to Austin, Texas before coming to me in Phoenix. Then a couple of weeks ago I sent out 2 packages on a Saturday afternoon. One was delivered to the buyer on Monday in Virginia. The second, to a buyer in Houston, went silent in the tracking for 7 days before showing up again in tracking and being delivered.
I've occasionally expedited mail by cutting out the regional sorting center and putting it directly in the other carrier's bin. Can't do this on a large scale since it wouldn't be cost efficient.
34 years of delivering the mail has been quite satisfying to me!
