My mail car...I have only scheduled a pick-up once. My mail carrier forgot to pick up my packages and I had to run him down. (He did say he would have realized it later, and come back for them.)<br /><br />I do worry a little about theft. I live in a good/safe neighborhood, but get a fair amount of traffic on my street twice a day because we live very close to a middle school. I figure it just takes one person noticing a stack of packages on my doorstep every day . . .<br /><br />Also, fall has finally hit the PNW. There is no way I could leave packages out for pick-up now. They would be drenched by the rain.<br /><br />Thankfully, my PO is only about a mile away from my house, and I am usually driving near it anyway. I drop items off every day, but rarely have to make a special trip to do so.Kari @ She Thriftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210834287706775443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1088847186319730998.post-8172789123451182512012-10-16T16:12:42.150-04:002012-10-16T16:12:42.150-04:00Diana, I have on occasion been known to upgrade on...Diana, I have on occasion been known to upgrade one of my packages to priority if I have a ton of Fitst Class or Media packages going out and no other reason to go by the PO. I figure what I loose in postage I make up for it in savings in gas and time and sanity. As long as one is upgraded they will take it all.The Thrifty Momma Sayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02276190836690890575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1088847186319730998.post-71772447454531006862012-10-16T06:03:35.507-04:002012-10-16T06:03:35.507-04:00I use mostly media mail since I sell lots of books...I use mostly media mail since I sell lots of books so that means I can't schedule a pick up. I live in a safe area and don't really worry about theft, by the way.
