A couple days ago I went to my neighborhood USPS. When I asked for packing peanuts the person said "I don't know what that is so probably not". Then pointed me to their packing supplies shelf which had a couple rolls of tape and some bubble wrap. I live in Seattle and it's already this bad. Any more budget cuts and it would be easier for me to backpack cross country deliver it myself
Edit: I don't understand why I'm being down voted? I've always tried to use USPS I prefer them over privatized shipping. I'm just trying to say that it's already depressingly under funded and it's hurting this much in the city I can't imagine how much it's hurting people in the country. It's about to buckle already and it's going to be toast if it sees another budget cut. I wish we could have nice things
