Delay of Game: Post Office, 10-Yard Penalty

Are the post office's money troubles causing them to give you the hard sell when you tote your bubble mailers to the window?

As if collectors weren't fretting enough about the possible loss of Saturday mail delivery, the United States Postal Service has been putting the full court press on customers with its attempts to sell them extra services.

At least that's the experience of one writer/collector.

Jeff Edelstein, a columnist from the Trentonian in New Jersey says his latest attempt to mail out some sports cards at the local branch turned from annoying to a near comedy routine thanks to a very persistent clerk.

But he's already plotting a way to handle it next time.
