Recently I mailed some seeds in an envelope and wrote "please hand process". I put 52 cents' worth of stamps. Normally I would stick it in my mailbox and let carrier Kim take it away. Up to recently, that always worked w/o incident.
I had to go to the P.O. on another matter and decided to take the above envelope w/me. Counter person weighed it and told me I owed about 70+ cents. He explained that the P.O. was losing money on people mailing non-letter items in envelopes, so in order to control losses, a "bulky" envelope is now considered a parcel. According to the rep, if it is not perfectly flat, the envelope rates DO NOT apply.
Maybe most of you already knew this but I didn't.
