a few years ago I had the odd experience of receiving a very large, empty box from the post office.  It was intact with tape and everything; and was not smashed in the slightest.  It should have had several of my college books in it, but, it didn’t.  Not even one.  When I spoke to the Postmaster in Greensboro I was told that my sister had paid for the *box* to arrive but “postage does not cover the contents.”  That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.  Sums up why the Greensboro hub has so many problems and explains why so many people just use FEDEX or UPS instead.
