[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 4163338, member: 42584"] I needed a USPS "Priority Mail" Tyvek (free) envelope to mail some paperwork to my granddaughter so I went on the USPS website under mailing supplies to order one and discovered that I can't get just ONE . . . I have to order a pack of 10. OK, so I ordered a pack of 10 (still free) and several days went by and I got a text on my phone (after providing every bit of personal information I had including a kidney to get on the notification list) saying that it had been delivered. Well, maybe so, but not at my door (as promised) or at the rental office where I live. The next day I happen to catch the elusive mail delivery person servicing the apartment complex where I reside and ask her about whether she had any of those envelopes on her mail-truck, to which she said no, that she does not carry ANY mailing supplies, or even stamps for that matter. So I ask her if she could grab one of those (free) envelopes and stick it in her truck and I'll just get it from her the next time I see her delivering mail to our mailboxes. She said no, she could not do that and that I must contact the Midwest City post office by phone to request that those free Tyvek envelopes (pack of 10) be mailed to me [U]or I can request that ONE envelope be sent with the letter carrier[/U] on her next delivery to my address - let's jump through some more 'hoops' to get to the same result, shall we? Then she goes on to tell me that she has to be on her way because they (the post office) has her on such a tight time schedule to deliver the mail that she cannot take the time (i.e. waste any more time) to talk about this envelope request. Apparently she is not able to grab a free "Priority Mail" Tyvek envelope from the same post office she works out of and stick it in her mail truck, but instead, I have to call that same post office to request a free "Priority Mail" Tyvek envelope be put on her truck - WTF!
