I don't know whom to blame for my letters being returned. 12 of 14 letters returned. 12 X $0.60 + Time and fuel = frustration.
I was really looking forward to mailing from the Bridal Veil Falls Post Office often and getting their unique postmarks. Not anymore. This is my problem. The last week of August, I wrote 14 letters to friends and family. 12 of them were returned. The yellow tag said, Unable to forward. Return to sender.
This is where I call B.S.
1. All valid addresses. I mailed myself an empty envelope for the postmark. It was one of the 12 returned.
2. None of the envelopes were over an ounce. Remember that I mailed myself an Empty Envelope.
I asked my local post office about this and got some stupid answers from Lilly who talked with the Post Master at my Fairview location. She literally didn't know what the problem was and tried to tell me because they are busy it happens. NOT ACCEPTABLE Lilly.
She tried to tell me that some of the addresses were invalid and actually looked the top one up. I said, uh Lilly. That address your looking up is my niece whom I've mailed several letters to, so ya, its a valid address and then I picked up my envelope i mailed myself and said, what about this one? This is my address. See how it matches my Return Address? Lilly's response, I see that. Me, so is this not a valid address? Lilly, uh.
Then she tried to say maybe they were over the 1 ounce limit.
Me, what about this envelope that is empty? Lilly, let me see that, holds it up to the light and sees it's empty. Me, smiling. That's when I got the Lame Story About How They Didn't Make A Mistake. Oh ya. I've got 12 things that said the post office failed me.
Lessons learned. The worst part is there is no one to complain to. There is no recourse. So all you brides to be that desperately want that Bridal Veil Falls Post Office Postmark. Beware. I was out less than 10 bucks. What if I had mailed a 100 wedding invitations from this location? read more
