[Elecraft] OT: Postal terminology

[Rose]

Like an earlier poster said ... it sounds like you got a "bureaucratic"
reply from the postal employee ... or one who simply doesn't know
the difference(s).

USPS Priority Express is a service that uses a limited range of box
sizes that you buy from a P.O..  These boxes -must- be used for Priority
Express.  Priority Mail is a completely different critter.

I buy specifically-sized boxes and padded envelopes from U-line that
are almost exact fits for my cases and covers.   Have a look at this
site:  http://tinyurl.com/7lm3m5 .  I think the photos there will illustrate
my point.

Hint:  Google is your friend for additional information.

A letter posted to a local in town address goes Billings and back ...
about 700 miles ... and always bears a Billings postmark.  Go figure!  (:-)

FWIW ...

73!
