I mostly have good luck, the local post office has awesome employees.

I did send a package to a customer a few months ago and the box was trashed, all the packing and lots of parts were missing- cost me several hundred dollars. God only knows what happened to that poor box. That is not normal, I send quite a few packages with no problems except maybe delays.

I will second the notion that less than a dollar gets a letter to anywhere in the country. I have mildly wondered how far a dude could move a letter for that much money; minimum wage gives you only so many minutes of travel, how much gas can you buy. I figure maybe you could take it a few miles? I know, I know that they lose money, but fun to think about it.
