    Good morning everyone! I am a little concerned about the weighing of boxes and printing out of postage, We have have a few packages returned because of not enough postage and then this delays the delivery and it has to be resent. I am admitting that I know nothing about this other than the fact that I get pms telling me that their box was returned and has to be mailed out again. I'm just saying I always take mine to the post office.......

    Good morning, Larissa, it is tomorrow, are you going to give us another hint? Like maybe state, zip code, favorite something or name or anything. :?: Please :-P

    OK then my pal likes bright colors! I found a pretty lime green in my stash that went in.

    I just like using the flat rates, I print the label off of the PayPal website, it gives you a free confirmation number and fifty cents off the going rate. I one time had a gal inthe PO tell me that I did not pay enough and owed more postage before she would take it. I just simply took it to another PO and asked if it was true, nope, paypal gives a discount to their customers and it is all paid for.

    Did you know that you don't even have to go to the Post Office for stamps now? You can have them delivered straight to you home too.

    I know what you mean about the Postal Workers. I am a retired Window Clerk and the ones nowadays just doesn't seem to have much knowledge. Plus they have old-timers (no offense anyone) at the windows that are so darn grumpy you don't even want them waiting on you. They need to retire but won't.[/quote]

    I would love to have stamps delivered to me. Only I don't want to pay $5.95 for something that should only be the cost of one stamp. The PO way overcharges to mail stamps.

    In three years, I have never had a box returned for additional postage when I send through USPS online. Flat rates are one rate for up to 70 pounds. I have saved so much money in 3 years. I probably send around 100 boxes a year. I''m betting the ones that are returned for additional postage have regular stamps on them and not printed postage.
