So I tell her-- it's a small flag (about 12"x18"). She mails it. But I was very uncomfortable with her behavior and almost wanted to call back and complain to a manager or just go to a different post office.
Came in on a saturday at about 1230. I do understand this is not a regular post office and expected a wait for this transaction. I waited for a couple of minutes to mail a package to my son who is in the army in Italy. When I got to the counter, there were only a couple of people behind me and there were two workers, the person looked at the pkg and said that it was going out of the country and they "didn't have time to do it." Their words, not mine. I have shipped many items using customs forms, usually filled them out myself and it did not take but a few seconds for the counter person to check them over. Probably the last visit i will make to this business and I will mention it to others....
And the stupid thing-- even if I WAS mailing drugs, I could have just told her it was something else.
A Monday afternoon one guy walks out of the door. Walked in, door sounds. No one is around? There is no clerk? I say "hello?" no bell to ring, so a minuet later I leave. Ranking of stars is dumb if the service is in the negative. -5 Stars X ∞
Very uncomfortable experience! After handing my package to an elderly woman behind the counter; she starts asking the usual questions-- "anything liquid, perishable, or hazardous" kind of stuff. I answer "No" to all of it. I know she has to ask those questions even though she has the package in her hands and can see and feel it. I've done this so many times before so I know the routine and I'm just trying to get through it.
I tell her "No," but she clearly doesn't believe me, asking, "Are you sure." I keep telling her no, so she asks, "well, what IS in the package?"
Now, being a bit annoyed, I ask her if she is actually allowed to ask customers exactly what they are mailing. It just didn't seem like any of her business, and I'd already answered the standard questions like "is it hazardous." She proceeds to tell me that, not only can she ask what's in it, but she can refuse to send it if I don't answer--- Now, that is probably true; I don't know--- but of all the packages I've mailed in the past, I've never actually had to tell someone what was in my mail or been asked if I was sending drugs.
Love this place. Great customer service!
Love the workers, excellent services:)
But then the woman asks if it's marijuana. So caught off guard by that question! No one has ever asked me if I'm mailing marijuana before. Keep in mind, I'm just a regular guy, picking up his wife after work and returning something to Amazon in a small, boring package-- I have no idea how she got the impression I was some sort of drug dealer.
