We care

USPS says they care...



But not enough to stop using this way of canceling these lovely vintage stamps on a fun exchange envelope from Faye.

  1. I hope my letters never end up in a plastic bag accompanied by a letter of apology like in france ! Poor stamps ,i never understand why the post does not cancel the stamps with a spécial stamp "annulation" ,better than a pen :(

  2. If you tell them, they will say -like Royal Mail-: "I'm sorry". Again and again. But they are not, actually :(

    1. Yes, there is no chance for them to change this practice.

  3. Such a pity, the way these stamps have been canceled...

    And I learned a new word, 'mishap'!.. of which the literal meaning from Dutch is suitable for Eva's blog post of today. 'Hap' is a Dutch word meaning 'bite', so USPS took a hapje (= tiny bite), alas no mis-hap (wrong hap/hap-in-vain) but a good/big hap from Eva's stamp (and of many of my received US postcards) :-( :-)

    To be honest, in this picture I cannot see where the mail is damaged, apart from the cruel felt pen attack against the stamps?

    1. That is true, it didn't seem damaged at all (other than the stamps), so I'm not sure why it was delivered this way.

      I enjoyed all your takes on -hap :)
