A Gift from the Post Office

There was a box in the mail Saturday

a gift from the Post Office

The box was printed "Sample Showcase"
"A selection of free Product Samples"
"Brought to you by the U.S. Postal Service"
It came at a good time, its all stuff I can take on my trip

I hope the Post Office is
making money doing this,
If they are spending
taxpayer dollars
then I don't want this stuff.

Has anyone else received anything like this
from the Post Office?

  1. That's strange! My mail is being held right now while we are away so I am wondering if I got a sample pak too. The USPS says it gets no taxpayer dollars but in reading their financial page, that assertation sounds a little like "spin"! Who knows????

  2. Not me, not yet! I have to think these companies are paying the USPS to deliver samples as a form of advertising. I'm torn about that. What next? Banner ads on the side of their delivery trucks? The post office "presented to you by Proctor and Gamble"? Can't our government do anything without gumming it up?
