Delta Township Post Office Woker Zero – MI Zombie One

Ok I been mailing incense packages globally now for about 3 months with no incidents. The US Postal Service has very clear and easy guidelines for shipping to other countries. I have mailed to Canada numerous times, Norway and Costa Rica with no problems.

Today I get Mr. PITA (pain in the ass) who aparently thinks people with do rags on their heads are up to good. He looked at me, looked at the package, looked at me, looked at the package, looked at me and asked what is that? All snotty like too. I said well according to the customs form it appears to be incense sticks. So Mr. PITA goes I don’t think that can go to Norway and went into the back and a few minutes later emerged, shoved the package at me and said nope not going to Noway. I had already previously mailed to Norway from that same branch with no problems but today all of sudden there is a problem with incense going to Norway as they are now classified as Combustion able and inflammable materials. I may not a PHD or such but I know damn well incense can be shipped to Norway. I said that is funny been going to Norway before and right from this post office, but not this time. I cussed him out a bit and got away from the counter and said more pleasant words about him and left bitching the whole way out! If I had not been with my friend I am sure it would have gotten more heated but I don’t like to cause to much of a commotion when I am with some one!

My friend and I are now flabbergasted (she went with me when I mailed the first Norway package) and she said lets try another post office. So we went to the next post office and guess what? Not one little problem with mailing incense sticks to Norway! My friend is like maybe the two that allowed the mailing are wrong and they’re really not supposed to be going. I tell her oh I am sure they’re allowed but I need to find out the low down on this situation as I can’t be dealing with this every time I want to mail internationally.

We get back to her house and I get the 800 number to the US Postal Service and that lady and her supervisor had no idea even after explaining to both of them that I am getting different results from two different post offices. So the regular worker give me a special number to call at the post office I was just at, and her supervisor gives me a special number to call at the main branch for my city. So I figure I call the main branch one first. After 20 times and a voice mail I decide to finally call the other special number.

I get Terry and she was real helpful (but does not call me back like she said she would so I called her back) and comes to find out after a hour ordeal incense are just fine to go to Norway and the branch has been informed to allow them in the future. ZOMG Get real Mr. Pita! I so hope I can get him the next time I got the Post Office : ) , or least wave at him.

P.S. I now believe Mr. PITA never even asked anyone in the back but just stood back there for a while and said nope those can not go to Norway!
