The next time you're in the post office pick up the FREE "Flat Rate Envelope" and buy the stamps to go on them. The cost to mail flate rate is $4.05, with no weight limits.
This is great for anyone that mails relocation packages or bundled material.
There are a few rules.
1. There isn't a weight limit, but the envelope must close securely. It can be taped shut for security.
2. Any tape can not cover the stamp, even if it's clear tape.
3. The envelope has to be delivered to a postal employee in the post office. It cannot be put in your home mailbox. It cannot be put in the drop box at the post office. (Post 911 security)
4. You can often just hand the envelope to a postal agent and avoid the line. They simply need physically delivered inside to an agent.
The great news is that you can buy your flat rate envelopes with postage attached, as well as, stamps online, too!
It's an awesome way to send a small gift or a local paper to a potential buyer that may live out of town.
I've used the flat rate envelopes for my "Bonita Springs Relocation Package" for years.
