Those "Mailboxes Etc" places are a HUGE ripoff. Minimum 25% surcharge and
often a lot more, as you mention. Also, as far as I have found, they are
the only place that is allowed to mark UP the price of a book of stamps (if
you run a small store, and try that, you get in trouble- stamps are
supposed to be just like money, except for mail- the face value is the face
value).
