Snails - Response on Threads Part 7

[SilverBear]

not the point, lol . have you mailed anything in the last few years? my po goes through this routine without fail:
"anything fragile or liquid in here?"

Anything except flat letter-size things? No.

So how do these places get to plop liquid-filled bottles in a flimsy envelope
and be allowed to do so? Do they say "no" to liquids? Would that even be legal?

I'm just curious.

The saga continues...

The package DID arrive, but not with the 25 bottles. It has a $99.95 tank in the box.

It's going back "return to sender" tomorrow. The invoice does not have my name on it.

I'm sickening.

'Ya know... I sent them an eMail telling them of the error and that a $99.95 tank is
being sent back to them. I also warned them about a week ago of an order that was
not correct (the 25-bottle thing).

Do you think I'd get ANY kind of "thank you"... or ANY kind of reply?!?! To EITHER
note?

That tank is still in my mailbox waiting to be picked up. I should go get it and keep
it UNTIL I hear back. And if there is no acknowledgment, I should keep it. Give them
a week.

WWYD???

 

[FranC]

Perhaps another email requesting a reply. Don't know as I'd send the tank right back either.

Why could I not just throw it back into a mailbox?

I'm spending $0.00

Permitted Liquids
Nonflammable, nonhazardous liquids are acceptable to mail, if sealed inside a waterproof container. The outer container with the address label should also be strong and securely sealed. Mark the outer container as containing liquid, so that postal staff are aware of the contents inside. Do not ship liquids sealed with only a friction-top, or push-down, seal. This type of seal is common in paint cans. Steel cans and drums are both permitted containers for liquids
Is It Legal to Ship Liquids via USPS? | eHow

and time for a nap!
