it saves me

I've had my battles, my tears, my frustrations with the US Postal Service. Having a small business, I've dealt with them a lot.

In Tennessee, I'd about had it with the hours, the employees, the lines, etc. So... I bought a USPS $35 scale, starting printing my postage online (you save up to 14%), and either had it picked up at my doorstep or I drop it off (without having to wait in line). You do have to ship either Priority or Express, but I ship Priority for my business so it works out well.

This system has saved me hours of lines with my small tots. Oh how I love it! Definitely worth the cost for the scale!!!

Just thought I'd share!

Great idea. Even with the FEDEX discount it's sometimes soooo not worth standing in those lines, especially this time of year.

I love using the scale at home! Once I got a package sent back for 23 cents more postage, but only once. This year our package receiving was closed at the post office, but I took it to a shipping place and just handed it to them without having to wait in line and it got to our destination just right!
