Next time wear a coon-skin cap. At least they'll know you're a Davy Crockett fan. ;)
Um, I think you got some quotes mixed up there. I never said:
"Sadly,the USPS will be but a shadow of it's former self. Kinda like when all the big video stores put the Mom & Pop stores under. Now their getting hosed by netflicks,on demand and the red box. My sis is a postal-carrier,she said years ago that UPS was the best thing that ever happened to USPS,(took a hell of a burden off them as far as packages go) Comin back to bite them in the ass."

IDK, I just bought stamps went out to my car stamped them and dropped them in the outside box. It's just a bunch of paper 3D glasses so they should go through ok (I hope). I only write DO NOT BEND so the postman don't bend to fit into a small or stuffed mail box.

What's scary is I know exactly what those 3D glasses are for.

I don't think they charge extra for do not bend. We started shipping Orlando Attractions Magazine in baggies to try and help the crunching problem and it is the same price. Try writing photos - do not bend on them.

DW got involved in a handmade postcard swap thing, and since the postcards have fabric and stuff on them, they have to be hand cancelled.

she took them to the post office and found out that it bumps it to first class postage to hand cancel.
