I have been using a local mailbox place for several months and it is working out really great.  I know that there are some great USPS employees.........we have several, but it seems I kept getting the one that had a chip on his shoulder everytime I went in.  And then, the line at my post office is always about 10 deep so when I went in with packages I had to wait.  When it was my turn, I always felt like all eyes were on me and folks were wondering why I had to come with so many packages.  Anyway, I found this little independent mailbox place and the folks are delighted to serve me.  If I am in a hurry, they take my stuff and say, "We'll bill you. I don't even have to make out the labels.  I give them the address and they make them for me.  It is definitely worth the extra that I have to pay, which isn't much.  I can also park close to the door, they loan me their cart to get my packages AND give me custom forms it I need them.  Ya can't beat that!
