according to the Postal regulations,
any priority box under 11oz can be
dropped in any regular mail box, so
basically it's none of their business
what's in it. what I do is buy those
"airplane" stamps with $4.60 postage.
that way I never have to deal with
counter people. if you are lucky, the
post office has a package accepting
machine, and you can send anything
the fits in the enlarged slot. so if you
don't want to be put in a position to
lie to someones face, use a machine
or buy priority stamps a head of time.
if you don't have a postage scale at
home or work, most post offices leave
one laying around the ticket counters.
go buy a digital food scale on ebaY for
under $20, which sounds like a lot, but
it pays for itself after a few dozen SnS.
I'm really glad I purchased mine cause
it helps me keep my packages under a
weight milestone like an oz or lb, thus
saving me on postage overages.

I'm pretty honest about what I'm sending and receiving. I even opened up some fish once in the post office ~ my postmaster used to keep bettas and that's what I was getting that day, so I showed them off. 
He didn't have a problem with it. But the rules on shipping fish and other aquatic animals are iffy, so I've read about people saying their postmasters won't allow it. It just depends on the postmaster it seems.
Shipping plants hasn't been a problem for me either, though I've heard some people tell of having problems with it if there is a good bit of water in the bag.
