Never never again. That's my approach to having to stand in line at the post office, thanks to the merciful addition of the Automated Postal Center at the Northwest Reno Post Office (Peavine Station).
I sell books on Amazon as a side business (my pack-rat tendencies are finally paying off, sorta), so I mail a lot of stuff. In the past, that meant rolling the dice and hoping you wouldn't get stuck in a line out the door. Given that the post office is also in the business of passports, if someone with an itch to go to Paris gets ahead of you, you're in for a long wait.
But no more.
They added the machine about a month ago, and it's a life saver. Just walk up, answer a couple of questions, punch in a ZIP code, drop the package/letter on the self-serve scale and, voila, your postage is printed out.
Only one complaint, and it's a minor quibble. I like to ship Media Mail with some of my heavier items, and the machine only offers 1st Class through Next Day service. Fix that, and you've got a customer for life.Labels: 89523, business, nwreno, office, post, services |
