Self-serve kiosks
I went to the main PO in Chicago to send out stuff I sold. I was prepared to wait in line for at least 25-30 minutes, it was about 5:15. Lo and behold there was no line!!!! I was intercepted by the most courteous and friendly postal worker who said, "Have you tried our new self-service machine?" (as he herded me toward the machine) The machine comes complete with a scale, touch screen, credit card reader (ATM or CC). It looks like the same people who have redesigned the BankOne ATMs. He advised me to select CC otherwise I would have to swipe my debit card 4 times. The postal worker walked me through each step to process my 4 packages - priority mail with delivery confirmation. He was very patient and had full of information. In less than 5 minutes I had my detailed receipt with delivery confirmation for my 4 transaction.
Bravo USPS! Now, just get my packages delivered without any hassles or mangled boxes!
