Thats right, the banks are already privatized.... Why I support the privatization of the banking system:

2 accounts to close, and one internet banking to reopen (stopped for unknown reason)
Time taken- 1.5 hours
Forms filled in (with address and bday)- almost 50
Signed papers- almost 50
Signed papers then stamped with inkan- almost 50
Papers to update inkan-3
Papers to change address- 3
Benefit- can now write current address in kanji
Second benefit- the bank girl (now) wants to learn English
Moment of revenge- asking what the orange balls were for and laughing inside.

Thats right, the banks are already privatized….

When I asked to the post office for written guidelines on how to do a mail out like this to avoid future problems, he said he didn't have anything available. Nup, no written instructions, just the word of a "Shunin" Hirokane from Akasaka Post Office. And he would not put me through to his "Kacho" either so I was really stuck for a solution. ONe thing for sure though, there was no way we were going to sort and wrap envelopes by each postal code...you have to be kidding! To answer Adamu’s question posed on comment #2:

Choice :-) I've had some good and some bad experiences with the post office. When I was leaving Japan I went to the local post office to get my mail forwarded to a friend's house. I was told by the guy there that he couldn't do that - you can only forward mail to yourself at your new address. That sounded a bit dubious so I went to a different place and asked if that was the case, and they did it for me no problem. Sometimes you just run into "can't-do-it" people. It might be that they a) don't understand; or b) couldn't be bothered; or c) are following the letter of the law, but it can be a bit frustrating. Very hit-and-miss. It's probably a good wake-up call for those of us who also work in service industries :-) As for Postal life insurance??? Don't get me started... That Sagawa-guy sorted you real good, eh bro?

Why would he make such a BS request all of a sudden? Was there something you guys did on your side that was different? Is there something in your contract or the instructions saying that mailings have to be organized in some way? That is very strange behavior from the post office.
