I got a package in the mail and i dont know who its from. I dont remember making a deal with someone by the name. And when i opened it i found a nice Dr. kilmers swamp root kidney liver & bladder cure bottle and a Morey Mercantile co bottle. But the catch is, is that the Dr. Kilmers bottle was broken and the package looks like some mailman through it. I was so disapointed that the good one was broke. It was wraped VERY good too.

RE: Broken Bottle!

It is apparent that the P.O. hires a bunch of Gorillas, and that is not to say every postal employee in uncareing. It pays to buy insurance on even low value items if you want them to arrive safely in one piece. My apologies to any postal workers on these forums. I generally have a pretty high regard for our Post Office. My main point, wrap for bullet proofness and insure.

By the way, I learned that the Regional Box rates CAN be a money saver if you know what you are doing. Carefully read the requirements and know your zones. Watch out for Box "C" rates though, they can be a killer. I'm dead!

RE: Broken Bottle!

After many years of excellent results from the USPS three of the last four ventures were impacted negatively .... no pun. One of these was due to auto/machine scanning,,,the others are hard to justify. Insurance is an excellent suggestion.

RE: Broken Bottle!

Arek,

PM me your address and I will send you a Kilmers. I have at least 10 or so that I don't need.

PD
