I can't believe the podcaster has the nerve to bitch about the cost of his show and free gifts. If it's that much trouble, don't fucking do it! There other delivery services than USPS too. UPS & FedEx are still running.

You can schedule pick-ups on the USPS site.
If you're on the normal daily mail delivery route, it shouldn't cost anything extra.
I've done it a few times so far in the past month or so when I've had pre-paid boxes to go out.

Helps people with normally low blood pressure bring it back up to a more reasonable level.

Definitely an option, and free! I used to get tons of home orders from regular ebayers, and businesses in general schedule pickups.
USPS is definitely open, albeit shorthanded. We're getting pretty solid parcel counts for sure.
Worst way to handle this situation by OP, even if direct contact was ignored. Worst way for Franchi as well to handle things, by blowing up, tyrading, and what have you. Be the bigger man, and have some grace fer cryin' out loud. You feel someone is being a jackass, outjackassin' them isn't exactly the most enlightened path to take.

Fuck that, I am getting drunk.

I just got back from Walgreens, so that is certainly a given.
Quoted from wesman:outjackassin'
Outjackass' should be officially added to Merriam Webster's dictionary.
I Probably should have been more patient. Got Drunk last night and posted this Drama. My Drinking isn’t a excuse but it is the reason. I wonder what is the percentage of people that listen to Pinball Podcast anyway here. Most Podcasters hate Pinside For all this garbage, I guess I’m A Pinside Baby too...Burp ,where’s my Fob!....bet SAPS gets a lot of Downloads on their next Cast.
Note: This was way before the CoronaVirus was taken seriously.
Doesnt Franchi have some unnamed health issues that he mentioned a few months back? I wouldn't be risking exposure either if I had elevated risk.

A penitent man.....doesn't get his head lopped off searching for the grail. This is good..! 
No worries, you were drunk, got a lil' stupid, and have acknowledged such stupidity. Now Franchi on the other hand.....was most likely sober when he wrote his rants. 
And waitasec! Calling @Who-Dey.

Quoted from metallik:Gotcha. Hadn't seen anything about postal restrictions so was curious. Dude should edit his Facebook rant to mention the stay at home order specifically.This raffle was way before this CoronaVirus lock down. Shouldn’t have posted it anyways..may drain in.
Well, this may have legs after all. We can hope.

It would be cold, but we always have fun. Half the fun is pissing off Clay.

I'll bring some to the VFW show this weekend....
Fuck, we all got screwed on our Jr. High magazine subscription drive, but we never killed anybody over it. Although that was in the air at the time.

Would've been a whole different ballgame if you'd had the internet.

Back then you could publicly shame crooked organizations or scam artists by writing to the "Contact 10" or similar columns that were always on the front page of major newspapers.
