Their screen says: "Not For Sale" when they are scanned. This has happened at the main Helena, MT P.O. and Tuesday at the Missoula, MT P.O. Anyone else experiencing this problem? BTW, these are the new ones good until 2009. Try the attached link to email a complaint to the USPS. (It's so long that it may get f**ed up by the server if I don't use an attachment.) It seems to work. Once, when I tried it to complain that the self-service area of my local PO was closed at 8:15 A.M. when it was supposed to open at 7 A.M. I got a phone call from the head of that PO in a day or two. If you need more than a very small ammount of return postage from any one country you might consider one of those ham services that sells mint non-philatelic stamps. They're quite a bit cheaper than IRC's and the recipient doesn't have to chase down the only post office branch in the province which redeems IRC's, thus speeding your QSL. For ham stamp services see http://www.angelfire.com/md/k3ky/page35.html Use green stamps. |
