That shouldn't even be legal, as they have no right to throw away a person's mail.

BTW, I've been watching tracking on 5 things I bought recently, and I can see why the PO is hurting. There has to be a more efficient way to transport goods other than sending it a 1000 miles in the wrong direction, then back to me.

Well there's your problem right there!. The mail truck drove your letter 45 miles south from Kentland but only drove it back north 40 miles. It's a wonder it got there at all, being 5 miles short of Kentland and all.

my recent purchase from Mikes went from Chicago to japan 3 times before it got delivered to the correct post office. Military postal system sucks since they switched all the pacific mail from San Francisco to Chicago.

Well everyone I have come to the conclusion that everyone is happy with the vender of their liking , and that is the way it should be. Thank God we are FREE to buy from who ever we like. And that is all I got to say about that! Don in In.

I have dealt with Snyder's, Bratton's, Mac's and Mike's. Thumbs up to them all! My first order from Mike's came with a hand written message on the box with my name on it welcoming me to Mike's-signed by Mike. It was done with a Magic Marker. It might not of been Mike's signature, but I thought it was a nice touch.

I agree. I use them all.
Snyder's is very good and will send USPS when I ask.
Being on the west coast this gets it to me in three days and they email tracking numbers.
Berts will ship USPS too.
Mike's great people, shipping a bit more.
Berts and Snyder's are innovators, that's worth a whole lot.....
