Took my ATCs to the post office this morning, because the last swaps I joined, the ATCs came back to me instead of making it to my host. So I got the envelope ready just like I had previously, and asked the lady why it might have been returned. She said it's because I folded a SASE that's the same size as my original envelope and it's slightly bigger than it should be when it's closed. We're talking maybe 1/4" here...
I should say that my post office is notorious for being super picky. They gave me so much crap when I mailed my wedding invites.
Has anybody else had post office problems and how do you send your SASEs?
I think my PO would let me send an elephant in a business sized envy if I could make it fit (and with only 1 forever stamp at that!)... Sorry your's is such a pain Aidee. Maybe next time you could pm the host and see if they will let you substitute a large addy label & postage for the SASE. I know I would if i'd known your PO was so picky. . I always just fold my SASEs, but I have received them from other pple who slide them in unfolded (but I can never get my envy to seal right when I try that).
And yep yep Debs, four days til swap time! Weeee!!!
I've found that weighing and buying my stamps from the lady and posting from the mailbox outside the post office works better for me ive had a few disappear from going over the counter with them...
I just let the PO weigh any of my international envies that have more than 2 cards in em. A pain for them, but it puts my mind at ease. Last thing i want is for y'all's stuff to get lost in the void over a few cents.
ROTFLMAO!!! WestonWyse thank you SOOOO much for those links! Now if you folks wil excuse me, i gotta go find some weird stuff to take to my PO! I love it!
