Why I am even commenting on this I don't know because I will regret it. I talked to the postmaster person here in Lansing where all mail for the state (except Detroit) is collected and routed. He said post offices are not allowed to randomly open peoples mail to check for proper postal class of mailing. Neither are insured items delivered to a neighbor if it was the type of insurance where the mailer received a numbered receipt. The person to whom it is addressed or their representative has to sign for it and show id. This is for the post office's and the recipients protection. I believe you get what you pay for at the post office. Handling is by hand or by machine depending on the service you select. ie: how much you pay. Picking the cheapest service gets the lowest level of care in handling.

I just found out TODAY that the post office here is TAMPA has been randomly opening my mail because they wanted to see if it was sent UNDER THE RIGHT CLASS. I sent some items out the other day and received a letter with some photo copies that the items I had sent as media mail was in fact not media mail because it was vintage comic books and they sent the items with POSTAGE due to the people I had sent them to. This of course pissed them off and I received a neg on ebay for it. So now I have found out that for the last 6 months my mail has been tampered with by the post office. Thats just great. I recently sent out a spiderman 1 and the person I sent it to said they did not receive it. David sent me back a poster and I did not receive it. Now I find out the POST OFFICE has been opening my mail. >> Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
