[78-L] Who do these guys think they are? ^

[David Lennick]

The agents are all nice and friendly at this location, and the parking is great 
(as opposed to, say, that gigantic terminal north of the Tops in the north end 
of Buffalo). Where everybody knows your name. But man, that's a 25% increase 
and as far as I'm concerned, the original invoice should be legally binding! If 
there'd been a "pay before the 23rd" provision, it would be different.

And no, they don't lose packages and they don't ship stuff back if I don't pick 
it up within 15 days. Disadvantage to it being a small PO: one employee was 
doing passport applications for about 15 minutes, and I was at another counter 
sending out 25 parcels, so the lineup was getting pretty grumpy.
