Many, many shops available

If the company that does the USPS shops really wants them done, why not pay a better fee or start bonusing them? They have not changed the $5 fee and there are so many that I could or would do.

they even do not wish to cover buying boxes. So you will get only $5 for shop fee plus whatever yo spent for PM shipping. but it is less than $15.

I did one when it was bonused. I would send a package to my grandson in college but am waiting unit it gets bonused. Even then with the distance that I have to mail it, it will cost me money, And that is not counting the stuff inside and the $20 bill I put inside, I collect the $1 items that I get from gas stations and make a package for him.
The best question is...why are they even shopped? the USPS is a money pit. They operate on a loss. Does paying for this data improve their service? It certainly doesn't help them run at break-even levels.

I loved the Seinfeld episode where Kramer wants to cancel his mail

I've done one under the new regime because I had to return a travel mug to a friend. I'd consider doing another one if I had to send something to somebody, and the location was convenient. Definitely not gonna be a regular thing.

Have synthesizers, will travel...
There is one bonused near me for $25 shop pay. The area is hard to get to due to construction. I have seen several in that particular area bonused (various companies). I don't have anything to mail, so it does not benefit me in anyway to do these for $5.
I've done several of these that were bonused and they weren't bad at all. The main difference with the new MSC is having to take two exterior photos. One minor complaint is that in my opinion it takes longer to complete the report due to a lack of flow, duplicate questions and errors in the questions.

One major plus is that the new MSC seems to approve the shops quickly and pay much sooner.
You really only need one exterior Pic IF the flags are included in the picture. The second picture is optional, and usually used if you need to take a pic of the flags separately, or you need to show an infraction.
