KathyG - just so I understand. You were sent to a competitor shop that does not offer USPS shipping at all? I have been sent to some which try to steer me towards Big Brown, but as per the instructions, I insist on USPS Priority.
I did 3 HazMats today. The first was at the smaller office supply chain and they accepted the package and charged me the old rate of $9.00 for Zone 5. The second was at the big office supply chain, and they accepted the package (different scenario) at the new rate of $9.45 And finally, a genuine USPS location which rejected a shipment with the second scenario.
Tally to date since 11/19 for the current MSC:
Total Attempts to ship: 20
Accepted by USPS: 3 out of 10
Accepted by competitors: 4 out of 10
A statistical tie.
