Been there, and done that... more times than I care to remember. As I've always said... the USPS should stop disgracing the majestic eagle as their symbol and return to using the Pony Express symbol... modifying it slightly to read PUNY EXPRESS. They are a God-forsaken DISGRACE to this country. 'Nuff said... before I really cut loose with what I think about the USPS. John Degnan [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Believe Washington & his troops marched from New York to Yorktown VA faster than Magazine delivered by U.S. Postal Service. Guess I could try 1st Class postage, it's an extra $11.50/yr. but I'm frugal (cheap). Nice job though by Richard & Debbie Bendever (editor/publisher). 2005 wasn't a good year for me & U.S. Postal Service. Early on in March they shredded a large Money Order for a "S" brass loco I purchased from a dealer. Fortunately there was enough left that I was able to get another re-issued by my Post Office, but then I had to to pay for express mail since the dealer's client was complaining. In September, I sent another large money order for another "S" brass loco I won on e-bay. This time it was just lost. I'm sure the seller thought I was a deadbeat. Luckily I had copy of receipt & stub. HOWEVER, THE POST OFFICE MAKES YOU WAIT FOR 30 DAYS BEFORE IT WILL EVEN ACCEPT A MONEY ORDER "INQUIRY" AND 60 DAYS BEFORE IT WILL EITHER SEND YOU A CHECK, OR PROOF OF CASHING WITH SIGNATURE. It wasn't until November that I got my money back from Post Office. Then later in October, sent back a brass part I purchased which wasn't exactly as advertised. You guessed it. Lost. And therefore no refund/credit. Could of sent it issured, but value was only $15. Needless to say, I'm not a fan of U.S. Postal Service. However, all the Junk Mail seems to make to my house just fine. Thank goodness the Holdays were enjoyable, and I can now look back and almost laugh at last year's transgressions. Wishing all of you a happy & healthy New Year.
