$65 to mail one envelope. Are you kidding me?
My father went to the Clinton, NC Post Office yesterday to send a simple envelope to me in Tunisia. Inside: my driver’s license and a tiny Apple AirTag. That’s it. They charged him $65.
Meanwhile, the Raleigh Post Office sent me the exact same kind of envelope for $4.50 just a few weeks ago. It arrived in 6 days, no drama, no “security tag” excuses.
The Clinton clerk insisted the AirTag made it cost more because it’s a “security tag.” That’s absurd. AirTags are literally made to travel with letters, luggage, and boxes. Every airline in the world knows that — apparently, this post office didn’t get the memo.
This kind of overcharging and misinformation is what drives people away from USPS. It’s unfair, it’s dishonest, and it’s an insult to customers just trying to mail their own property.
I want a full investigation and refund. Until then, we’ll drive an hour to Raleigh where honesty still costs less than $65.00.

They are the absolute worst delivery service in town bar none. So sad they are the ones representing our country. Out of shear laziness they REFUSE to deliver anything if they can't just stick it in the mailbox. My house is down a gravel road (a good one not full of holes) and because they have the cop out they choose to take it EVERY TIME. If I am receiving a package and I see it's coming from USPS I know I have to add at least 2 extra days to the delivery time and ultimately I'm just going to have to get it from the post office. Just sad. No accountability when I mention that I'm annoyed when I have to pick up something the people in the office are always rude and retaliatory making me wait longer ect.
