USPS Business practice - BOOO!
I see that there are 5 new issues comping up the end of this month/first of next month. The dates are 5-29, 5-31, 6-1 and 6-2. There are actually a couple more that I'm not interested in, partly because of this policy.Three of them would be on a different days that the ones I mentioned above.
A couple of these I think have a slim chance of being collectible and would like to pre-order them. I'd hate to have one sell-out before they actually go on sale like the circus one, I forget whether it it is the perforated or non-perforated, sheet or mini-sheet. (Yes, there's also the one from the yearbook)
But then again, I thought that the Charlie Brown Christmas set would be. It might actually be desirable to a great number of people, but the fact that they are still on sale will seal the fate of it ever becoming worthwhile to buy a few extra of.
I want to let people know that if you pre-order these, you'll get charged for the shipping separately for each day that you pre-order. I emailed customer support and was told this. As my wife told me, I'm worth it, if I want them then the extra postage doesn't really matter.
On the other hand, it's not the end of the world if it does sell out. I got the circus one at only a slightly larger price.
It'd the way they are doing this that makes me mad. There are 8 different pre-order issues between the 7 days from May 28 and June 3, another one on June 7, yet another on June 10. And it's only May 20. What a rip-off, in my opinion.
I would say that if you feel the same way, then write them about it. But that's another stamp, probably wasted, and you can find a place on their web site to email them.
