Super Mail Delivery

Today I receved a Flat from a stamp dealer, nice commeratives very
lightly cancelled, almost a skip.
The unusal thing is that it was too big to fit my mail box so the
Postal Carrier deposited it on the back porch.
He usually rings the bell but since no one was home he did not want to
leave it on the front porch. How is that for service? and I didn't
even give him a Christmas gift.

Amazing! The dying gasp of a bygone age I'd say! But ... why not give
him a (small!) gift next week!

I would gladly give him a nice stipend if I knew which mailman did the
good deed.
I have strong suspicions it was the regular carrier and not a
subsitute.

Hi,

I have a P.O. Box that is regular size in a local post office. I
once got a lot of stamps from Venezuela that was a large flat and had
a cardboard stiffner. The post office geniuses rolled up the flat
( cardboard and all ) and stuffed it into the small box. I complained
because the article said in large letters 'Do Not Fold, Photographs'.
They told me that rolling up a piece of mail was not folding. I asked
them why they did not put the large item in one of the key lockers.
They told me that it takes too long and rolling is their policy. I
said that if anything was ruined I would put in a claim. They said
that the claim would be thrown out because they did not fold it. I
went to the main post office and compalined and they transferred the
local manager. Now all philatelic mail, in that branch, is handled
with care. At least that was accomplished.
