Inefficiency of the Post Office

As many of you know, the recent increase in stamp price went from $0.39 to $0.41. Well, for mailing sports cards, which normally use a 4"x6" bubble mailer, "your results may vary". And no, I am not saying this as a joke.

Here's the new rates as are CLEARLY explained on the USPS website:

Flat Rate Box: $8.95
Flat Rate Envelope and all Priority Mail items 1 pound and under: $4.60

Here's where it gets weird with the first class rates:

Package is equal to or less than 3/4" it should be qualified as a Large Envelope and cost $0.80 for 1st ounce.
Package is more than 3/4", it is a package and is $1.13 for first ounce.

In order to use DC, a person has to make their package at least 3/4". However, if you do not want to be charged the insanely raised prices, you have to meet that 3/4" exactly.

Now, it seems that the geniuses running the Post Office have failed to train their employees about the new rate hike. Some employees are abiding by the rules on the site and some from other post offices, say that a bubble mailer is $1.13 no matter what. It seems as though the Post Office has, once again, skipped an essential step in providing efficient service. It sounds quite stupid when the customer knows more than the employee and the employee insists on the wrong thing. It's not enough that they take an hour to mail your one package, they have to be uneducated in the Post Office's policies.

We pay more, yet I don't see anyone working faster at the Post Office? Weird...
