Thought the glass was to protect the customers from the employees? ;-)

Henry's take pride in using USPS; they think they are delivering
superior service to their customers. I have seldom bought from the
US, but have always asked for USPS; small values (50 pounds max?),
but never paid import duties either. As a UK recipient, I hate
couriers with a passion; I am never in and have to drive to their
depots, usually half an hour out of town (and I am already out of
town :-). With the standard mail service, I just walk to the depot on
a Sat, or drive by on the way to work and that's pretty much the case
for everyone in inhabited areas, I should think.
Har!
Royal Mail left me a note a few weeks ago saying that a parcel was
waiting
for me at Woolwich. That's not my normal depot, which is only a short
walk
away. It took me almost an hour to get to the depot in Woolwich, which is
not in a place that's easy to walk to. They then told me that I'd come to
the wrong place and they didn't have my parcel. To add insult to
injury, the
guy on the desk said "If you had any common sense you'd have known the
address printed on the card was wrong".

At which point I exploded with mighty wrath and came down on him like
a wolf
on the fold. I would have smote him, had we not been separated by
bulletproof glass.
