Thanks to everyone who responded. I was trying to point out
that there are more sizes available than the USPS website has
available in small quantites. Oh well, good intentions and all that jazz.

I think you dun good. Really.

I guess I would go in on 11 pallets with other locals if I had to and if
more sizes than just the one were only available that way. But I can live
without the 5x5 box, I guess, and it seems that's the only one not available
on the web. That's goofy in and of itself, really, if you think about it.

I reorder supplies about once a year or so over the web and it's great. Very
convenient.

I also am very happy ordering supplies online.  About twice a year for me.

Funny thing about PM supplies--it seems that some/all of the little rural post
offices have a hard time getting certain box sizes.  So every few months my
local postmaster asks me to order a few cases of the #4 cube box since it is
not available to her.  Dunno who she is giving them out to, but it would be
nice if they would order their own.  It would save me from returning cases to
the post office that my letter carrier has just delivered.

Hmm, why doesn't she order them herself, and pick some bogus address that her
staff is well aware means "deliver to us." Hmm, like the actual street address
of the Post Office??? :-) (that would then be a funny way to initiate a new
driver, sub him in on the route which includes the Post Office, and watch as he
manhandles the boxes into his truck, and sets off to deliver, only to
realize... yup, they go right back where they came from... :-)

(...) I suppose that would make too much sense for my postmaster to order the boxes as a civilian and have them delivered to her directly (or for a bogus address). Actually, I don't mind doing my postmaster a favor now and then. I get extra special (...) (22 years ago, 29-Apr-02, to lugnet.market.shipping)
