I received two envelopes yesterday. One from the United States and the other from Denmark.
The one from Denmark is neatly cancelled.

Image Not Found

The red label translation is "Please stamp for collector's use"

The envelope from the United States is cancelled with a pen.

Quite the difference in cancelling the stamps.

Appears the US postal service has been taken over by vandals and they have all been given Sharpies:

This is to discourage any mail that can't go through the automated cancel machines which vary from decent to almost as bad as a Sharpie.

re: Mail received

FYI I have a 5" x 8" x 3" box going to Sri Lanka. In a moment of weakness, I phoned 4 different Post Offices yesterday - got 4 different prices from $10.80 to $17.10. Why am I not surprised?
