After years of successful shipping via the US Postal Service, the Post Office recently lost a "very important package".
I could have personally driven this package to its destination several times in the 15 days it took for it to be delivered. Yet, it had arrived at the correct zip code location in Priority Mail speed. What transpired after that it is still a mystery.
While we still use the United States Postal Service on a regular basis, Woodbridge, Virginia has plenty of fax and mail services with packing and shipping solutions.
Woodbridge Main Office: 1810 Reddy Drive, Woodbridge VA 22191-9998
Woodbridge Prince William Branch: 3360 Post Office Road, Woodbridge VA 22192-9996
At this location, from personal experience with frequent shipping of international packages, they require Form CP-72 [the "white" form] for any weight when CN-22 is accepted at the main post office for the very same package.
I Fax and Mail services for domestic shipping purposes...and I make it even easier by using prepaid Click N Ship labels.
So be fully aware of the slight differences in services and potential fees which may be added to the cost of postage and shipping.
In my mind, it is the price of convenience. If you happen to be in the neighborhood, you can drop off a stamped envelope or prepaid package in the proverbial New York minute and purchase stamps or ship a package in much less time than it would require to stand in the long lines at the Prince William branch Post Office located near B.J.'s.
