  17. Usps

    I use U.S.P.S. Priority exclusively for shipping unless cheaper, slower, less secure is requested.

    I have not found first class to be of similar speed. Priority 2 to 3 days most 90% 2 days(thats right behind overnight at 1/3 the cost). first class 3 to 5 with 4.5 being average.

    Priority boxes are handled differant than general delivery and all packaging materials are delivered for free to ur door.

    The USPS delivers to Every, Every Door in the nation 6 days a week(thats a lotta doors). letters for less than haf a dollar, packages at 20% to 60% of private carriers.

    Is it in need of refinement? of course. The bloat of mis managed governmental systems is fodder for hundereds of threads.

    But this one is manged better than most and has been for some time. It does have debt. but this is our cost for a system that for the most part has paid its own way for decades. including the retirement cost of its workers. Most of its current debt can be traced to "new" inane congressional language associated with the funding of same retirement system.

    Not trillions of cost like other governmental depts., a few billion (lol, a lill number these days)

    email, digital data....their fight in a new economy - like all business these days - is easy to trace. but they are making the fight and doing a fair job at it. I feel they will correct their own course as they have shown the ability to do in the past.

    I wish the rest of the government depts. were anywhere near as efficient. No I am not a federal employee. lol

    As far as using a product someone gave u for free (probably shipped to ur door) and I have done it! To further undercut their profit margin! well really!! I guess an I'm sorry is due and I Am. and understand them being a bit miffed about it. But would ask that you take another look at the huge task set in front of the U.S. Postal service and how well, all in all they accomplish that task.

  24. Ebay Plug

    Its a search engine phrase (marble, marbles, old, vintage, antique) I include it in most listing titles, ie: old marble or old marbles or vintage marble or vintage marbles. I usually include antique, it didnt meet that.

    aint new, so your not complaining about old. vintage ?- I hadnt paid it much atttention ( i dont put the time in the listings that i once did). They are listed in the right catagorie - 1970 to now - modern. On ebay if you are searching a "Particular" catagorie it will only come up in that catagorie. The description list it as modern, its in that catagorie. I had forgot a picture of the marbles packaged in Shamrock Packaging but left room in pictures to include one (they are laying here on the desk to remind me). So this plug or searching my listings or the modern catagorie is the only way you will c it. oh yea search engine, vintage marbles.

    hmm,,,,, in my opinion - it is one.
