GradedOnACurve Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 are you sure the postal worker wrote that? Of course ,he doesnt. I am still wondering how the post man who delivers to his work knows where he lives that he should move. You know with 35 million people living in tri state area But hey, I guess it makes fun message board ranting Is there any way to prove that the mailman actually wrote that?(Not saying that he didnt write it I am just curious how you would prove it to the post office) Got a pile of mailers with similar writing. Mainly saying closed when they tried to deliver on Saturday. I also doubt Kings Road merch was upset to send the order to my job. Theres the first part to your answer. Who else would write on my mailer? When the mail comes off the postal truck/from the mailman (depending on weight) it goes to a desk literally 10 feet from mine. I never said this particular postal worker knows where I live. I said I work at a college as an Admissions Counselor. It's obviously a place of business because there are no dorms and its Jewish so no one is in the building on Saturday (I have a bunch of mailers that say "closed.") So hes clearly upset personal mail with labels from Kings Road, Fat Wreck, Kiss Of Death etc. being delivered to a business. However, I don't know which postal worker wrote it. A lot of people have personal packages delivered to their office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trifornais Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I work in a warehouse and get my mail delivered there because the local post office is open 9:30-5:00 and I work 9:00-5:30 every day. Australia Post is expensive but generally the postmen are easy going and careful. The mailman that comes to my work delivers work mail and my mail separately so he can give my packages to me in person and ask about which record I received this time. I gave him a $50 DVD/CD voucher last Christmas to thank him. (I got the voucher free through work so I feel a little cheap, but). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decibel120 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 My mailman is great. Whenever I get records or anything that's not an envelope he'll ring the bell to alert me that it's there. I live on a street that has a school across from it and the records stick right out of my box. I've never had one stolen, but it could happen and I appreciate the doorbell as I'm generally around (or a roommate is) to hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suchashorttime Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 OP: perhaps you should consider that the intent isn't malicious... considering your records show up safe and sound, this could be something playful. i mean, maybe the dude is just poking fun of you for getting your personal mail delivered to a college. if he were really a jerk, he'd send you the message in another way, like folding a record or something. any possibility it's a coworker who receives the mail messing with you? it just seems to goofy to be something to worry about.

ilikeguitars Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 It looks like the writing is under the tape on the left, which means it could be from someone at the place you ordered the records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
culdesac Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 It looks like the writing is under the tape on the left, which means it could be from someone at the place you ordered the records. Good point. Maybe he's been ordering a bunch from a small store somewhere and they're joking telling him he should just live closer to it.

GradedOnACurve Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 ^ I'd like to think that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafmx Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 was it a new mailer or used? I've had messages on boxes from distributors and such. I've written things on mailers hoping the person would see them when they got the record too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewmatic Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 They are all mostly from NYC and Long Island FYI.In NJ the majority of the cast of Jersey Shore would be known as Bennies. True, only one is from jersey i believe. Head a little further south and they're shoobies. Mostly coming out of philly and points west. this is what we have to deal with every summer. should explain a lot. jersey has a bad rap. if it keeps people out the of state all the better. it's crowded enough. In Jersey you have a diverse array habitats within easy reach of each other. Within two hours you can get to NY, Philly, the shore, the pine barrens down south, the "mountains" of north jersey and more. It's the most densely populated state in the union; however, it's still 2nd in blueberrys; 3rd in cranberries and eggplant, 4th in bell peppers, peaches, and head lettuce. The Pine Barrens is a unique habitat only found in a few places in the eastern US - home to many rare species, such as pine barrens treefrogs, blackbanded sunfish, swamp pink and others. It's amazing place even with all the chiggers. I like how this turned into a Jersey lovefest. But I can also vouch for my Jersey mailmen I've had. I had an older african american woman and some guy that looked like a pedophile. Both were extremely careful with my packages and got tipped for it well on holidays.

taylo234 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 My mailman is one of the coolest people I know, always puts my packages out of the sun and sometimes even brings my mail up to my doorstep and knocks to say hello. We've recommended him some good doctors due to his wifes serious illness and it's good to know he doesn't take it for granted. We also slip him a sapporo every now and then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daiei Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Wish I could provide you guys pictures with a mailer I got a few weeks ago, it looked as if someone tried to bend it in half. Not just an indention, maybe from weight of an object on top, but fully taco'd. Fucking ridiculous. Pretty sure it had to be USPS because Victory records has never done shit like that before.

moonbeams Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Japan Post (now fully privatized) is pretty fantastic. Like most people, I'm usually at work at 4 pm when my mail is delivered, so the carrier often doesn't bring the record, just a slip saying that it's at the PO. But in March and August, I'm usually home.. I understand not wanting to walk up 3 flights of stairs with the odds being I won't be there.. I do have a beef with USPS because MOST of my orders from the USA ONLY come beat up. Sometimes they arrive a month late in deformed packages. This happened recently when I ordered textbooks with $80+ international express mail. Came 10 days late with severe water damage in a dented box. These days I've been writing cute and silly messages to the USPS on my mailers that I sent out like, "Thanks for not bending! =) " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maneatingcow Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I've got no issues with my local post office or post wo/man. I'm normally at work when the mail is delivered but my packages are always in good shape. The local post office is great the only issue I have is shipping media mail. I don't know if all USPS locations are like this but whenever you ship media mail you have to leave the package unopened so they can inspect. When shipping DVD's it's super easy for me, I don't have to seal anything, they do half my work for me. The problem is when shipping records I want to ensure it's properly sealed so that always leads to a hassle, explaining that I want to see it sealed so I know it's ideally packed fro shipping. As a heads up I've never had an issue with missing DVDs or records. I've shipped 200 or more DVDs and 20+ records with only 1 DVD going missing in transit. The other oddity is I get an absurd amount of my packages on Sunday mornings. Today I had 4 boxs of records sitting in front of my door when I woke up, all from different places.
