    I noticed that a letter carrier was delivering mail to the customer that had an outgoing priority mail package. If the USPS is delivering mail to the customer, the pickup of the package is FREE! If a customer has an outgoing package after mail delivery, I believe the USPS has a pickup FEE! False advertising at its best. The next question would be????? Is this customer a KNOWN Mailer for security purposes, and then you can get into a mess of requirements like weight, fragile or liquid, you know, the same old crap they have Sales and service Associates ask on every transaction!!!!!!! Why does the USPS waste money advertising anyway? We know all about snail mail! They want u to use their service but they fail to backup the guaranteed delivery date or insured item. Though we know priority mail is not guaranteed for delivery in a specified time frame, there really is NO difference in parcel post or priority mail when it comes to time of delivery. The only difference is the price.

    Carrier pickup is free: from http://www.usps.com/pickup/welcome.htm : “Your carrier will pick up your package when your regular mail is delivered.”

    Which, as you say, is exactly what the commercial shows. How is that false advertising?

    And you’re incorrect about there being no difference between parcel post and priority. Priority is transported mainly via FedEx (except for locations reachable via ground transportation within the two day service standard), while parcel post goes by surface. Every priority package I’ve ever received has arrived within one to three days from the time it was maled, even from Alaska. Parcel post mailings have taken as long as two weeks. Big difference.

    mail handler, what about the security issue??? Of all people, you should be aware of “Known” mailers or NOT.
