And I think you can get pick-up from the PO too. In any case, the full array of shipping possibilities are available using their service, so you aren't limited by the ignorance of whoever you meet behind the PO counter.<br /><br />I don't have any advice on the MVD though. <br /><br />(It looks like I'm Emily, but I'm really Lisa, in Chimayo)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10704697369790917385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129787696807656257.post-43697711179045479492010-05-03T19:56:15.117-06:002010-05-03T19:56:15.117-06:00Robyn: NO WAY!

Beyond irritating! If it makes you feel any better, our local P.O. was actually voted the nation's 2nd worst post office. I have twice seen customers (there is always a line AT LEAST 20 minutes long, usually longer) nearly start to riot because of slowness, incompetence and general unpleasantness of the staff. You are not alone... : )Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06391086267728343589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129787696807656257.post-1191157101581282302010-05-03T07:31:01.003-06:002010-05-03T07:31:01.003-06:00Jack: OMG, I almost choked on my coffee laughing....Jack: OMG, I almost choked on my coffee laughing. Poor Brenda, we are sisters in, well...annoyance at the post office, at least. Please tell her last year's postal stories would have been about OUR trainee, the one the left alone on Saturdays, who was sweet but had no clues...I could have written a story about her and my attempt at sending something certified mail. Honestly, sometimes I think it's a wonder anything in this country works at all!Taos Sunflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14858962854162972354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129787696807656257.post-12965052095692277272010-05-03T05:47:44.451-06:002010-05-03T05:47:44.451-06:00Martie, Are you ever persistent and tolerant, a go...Martie, Are you ever persistent and tolerant, a good person. I don't blame you for getting frustrated and off-set. What a nightmare. Brenda went to Stephenville to mail a package and asked for some tape to seal it better and the clerk handed her the tape and said Brenda had to seal it because they could not--liability issue if the package fell apart! The tape was stuck at the ends and she spent thirty minutes dinking with that plus the other clerk was in training at the counter and was having difficulty making the transaction. Brenda came out cussing and stating she was going to use FedEx from here on out.<br /><br />Martie, Going to Red River is quite a jaunt to try and get good customer service...then the trouble.<br /><br />As you write: Yay!

However, having said that, one nice person can sure make up for a few of the others!

Yesterday was another one of those days...both our cars were at the dealers for maintenance in Santa Fe and after 7 hours in the shop and "new" spark plugs, he drove a few hundred yards only to discover he was missing a cylinder. Back to Ford! Then, halfway home from SF, the engine light came on. I would NOT want to be the guy in the service department today! (And this is the truck we plan to drive 1,000 miles across the desert next week.)Taos Sunflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14858962854162972354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129787696807656257.post-87665738213293278392010-04-29T13:52:03.098-06:002010-04-29T13:52:03.098-06:00That's so sad Martie....
