    Post Office Closed

    Well it took several months but finally found a buyer for this beast and it left for sunny Florida this morning. Hated to see it go, customers always commented on it when picking stuff up...Need to get busy on that old boiler now.

    I read the tittle and thought PartTimeScraper was out of a job. I'm relieved that is not the case. Mike.

    We ordered several pallets of USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate Padded Envelopes for a mailing and realized that our catalog size had slightly changed from 2011 to 2012. We are hoping to find a business or personal party that needs a large quantity of these envelopes. Please save our envelopes and the environment!! Thank you.....

    Great title bro!

    What is the cost to ship something that big and heavy?
