LOL! Reminds me of the old days when we used to have our metered mail returned because someone forgot to advance the date!

Here in Beautiful Downtown Laurel, MD, they have our city police on Main Street directing traffic in front of the Post Office in the evening of April 15. They have postal employees standing in the parking lane taking your returns and tossing them into a bin with a guarantee they will get an April 15 postmark. If you go inside (they stay open until midnight) they have donuts and coffee.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

LOL! We have pretty much the same thing at the airport post office. It is almost a party, but I hate standing, or sitting in my car, in line for who knows how long.

So I now have the printed label (showing pick up from my work zip code) affixed to a flat rate envelope and requesting a signature upon receipt. It will go out with the regular Monday mail. They get their pound of flesh.
