The Post Office should consign with the Cruise ship industry for shipping things their customers buy on vacation, and the duty free alcohol items they purchase.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427238665701917635.post-34242189782608354742012-05-01T15:35:36.764-07:002012-05-01T15:35:36.764-07:00Yes I think that would be a wonderful idea to be a...Yes I think that would be a wonderful idea to be able to ship wine, beer, not so sure about and hunting license, great idea, we already sell duck stamps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427238665701917635.post-90393754017915264502012-04-29T08:52:00.615-07:002012-04-29T08:52:00.615-07:00to Oh I see. . . the Postal Service has a nationwi...to Oh I see. . . the Postal Service has a nationwide contract with TRM copy centers. You should check it out. My office makes a great deal of money from the public use copier in my lobby. TRM provides, at no charge, all the paper and toner and provides free maintenance when needed. I haven't had to make a service call yet, because the copier works fantastically. And at 20 cents per use, it's less expensive for my customers than the previous copier I had from imagistics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427238665701917635.post-77630277522592725172012-04-26T08:09:20.113-07:002012-04-26T08:09:20.113-07:00I would like to see business centers at the PO, wh...I would like to see business centers at the PO, where the public could come and have access to copy machines, faxes, scanners, computers, notary service phones and basic office supplies.

We are struggling for revenue so either allow the P.O. to enact services that will generate revenue or quit complaining that the P.O. is not doing all it can. What about Firearms? I know UPS ships them but does the P.O.? I do not think we do but if it were allowed it would have to be a Registered item...one would think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427238665701917635.post-54723294597199546002012-04-25T08:41:04.570-07:002012-04-25T08:41:04.570-07:00I get a lot of traffic in my small office looking ...I get a lot of traffic in my small office looking for notary services and especially wiring of money (moneygram).
