- HGHarsha GaliDec 1, 20232.0What kind a of a post office does NOT have stamps? They have been "temporarily" been out of stamps for more than three weeks. Several customers came in to get turned back. Only one staff member was knowledgeable enough to ship international packages, and had to wait in line for the second time
