Mail Services

I love the mailman here at Mudd.  I've been worrying about Christmas presents for a while, mostly about how I would get them home, so I kept putting off buying them altogether.  But with a little under two weeks until the end of the semester and start of break, I figured it was now or never.

So, I took a nice walk to buy everything I needed, which was a complete success.  Then, with bags full of gifts, I started the trek back to the college.  On the way back to my dorm, I decided to swing by the mail room to pick up a box so that I could figure out how to mail.

I walk in, and tell the mailman that I need a big box.  He asked me what size, so I told to mail the two full bags of stuff I had with me.  He hops up from his desk, starts looking for a box and then carefully helped me pack everything so that it was safe (with the necessary amount of padding) for a flight back home.  He tapes it up for me, helps me pick a mailing service and finishes up the whole thing in less than 15 minutes.

He was so nice and helpful about the whole thing, and I'm sure that the package will be just fine at this point.  After all that worry, the chore was done swiftly and efficiently.  It was great!
