This is what we used to send my stepson and nephew care packages when they were deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. 5 deployments between them. Mom/Aunt, God rest her soul, was in charge of filling the boxes and I got the PO duty, filling out paperwork and getting more boxes. Two and a half years.
I loved watching her do it. It brought a smile to my face. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Rose Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2018 4:03 PM To: Elecraft Reflector <[email protected]> Subject: [Elecraft] OT: Postal terminology Like an earlier poster said ... it sounds like you got a "bureaucratic" reply from the postal employee ... or one who simply doesn't know the difference(s). USPS Priority Express is a service that uses a limited range of box sizes that you buy from a P.O.. These boxes -must- be used for Priority Express. Priority Mail is a completely different critter. I buy specifically-sized boxes and padded envelopes from U-line that are almost exact fits for my cases and covers. Have a look at this site: http://tinyurl.com/7lm3m5 . I think the photos there will illustrate my point. Hint: Google is your friend for additional information. A letter posted to a local in town address goes Billings and back ... about 700 miles ... and always bears a Billings postmark. Go figure! (:-) FWIW ... 73!
