Does anyone use the post office anymore?
« on: June 09, 2010, 11:10:51 am »
It's been a while since I have written a letter, or sent a greeting card through the post office.  It's so much easier having email!   How do you usually send your cards or letters?

Yes, I still do b/c there are still so many people that are older that doesn't get the computer thing.  I is always nice to send someone  a note or a card just b/c just telling them your thinking about them.  So much more personal and it makes them feel special.  Got to admit we still crave that personal special  feeling sometimes.   :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :wave:

Technology has really taken over and has cut lots of biz for the post office

 :cat: I do a lot more online than I use to.  However, I still like to send my special cards and letters the old traditional way.  I still like to receive mail, too, just not the bills. ;)

I still use the post office occassionally.  But I do most of everything online.  It makes things so much easier.  The Post office is very much needed by those who are not computer literate and for mailing packages and personal cards etc.

i use it sometimes, especially for selling on ebay
or if i'm mailing out packages to friends... and for
cute stamps, of course.

the post office workers where i live are never in
a good mood  :confused1: i don't know what the
post office atmosphere is like to work in, but shoot.

I only use it to send packages and birthday cards. Besides that, not at all.

I still use it to buy money orders now and then, and post packages.  I usually print postage from home, but every now and then I have to make a trip.

I still use the post office. Mostly to ship packages now, but I prefer to send cards as well. It just seems more personal to me to get a birthday card or a letter in the mail.  Of course I do use email a lot, too.
