The post office offers a free service to pick up packages that  you are shipping with them.  I set out 3 on Sunday night since we wouldn't be here when the post office opened on Monday morning.  I have done this before with no problem.  This time, when we got home, the packages were still there and there was mail stacked on top of them!

We are going to talk to the post master this afternoon.  Good grief, why promoted the service and then have the packages still sitting there 4 days later.  Not such a good thing since the eBay people I had sold to were waiting for their items.  Darn!
