A FRIENDLY Reminder :)
When doing trades and sending envelopes, please make sure your envelope has enough postage. If it does not, the person receiving it has to end up paying and how fair is that? If your not sure, the postal station would be happy to check for you or better yet, purchase a .10 cent stamp book and add an extra if you can't make it to the post office.

How does that work? I've gotten envies from people saying postage due, but I assumed that they sent it back to the sender, because I was never asked for money.It was just in my mailbox like normal. This is kinda bad to have to pay extra for a trade though...I always add extra if I'm not sure.

I have a digital kitchen scale that weighs in eighths of an ounce. If you weigh your envelope and then go to USPS - The United States Postal Service (U.S. Postal Service) under Calculate Postage you will know the exact cost. HTH
 All I can say is if one stamp didn't cover it they must have been mailing a ton of coupons...

i totally agree that people should watch out & make sure they are not sticking someone else with a coupon bill
& if i ever do that, i really hope that the person would PM me & let me know, so that i can be more careful.BUT... i also think the post office should NOT be sending mail that doesn't have the correct postage to begin with! that doesn't seem right, either!  i used to have penpals when i was younger, & there was one girl who always seemed to overstuff her envelopes, & i always had to pay for it. i finally had to stop writing to her, because she kept doing it. i didn't understand why the post office would send it to me, if it didn't have the right postage! they send it back to you if you don't put any postage on it at all; i don't see why it's different if you only put SOME postage on

I don't think people realize that the post office charges more money due to the thickness of an envelope. I just picked one up today that I had to pay $0.61 for. Don't know who it was from, and several of the coupons were expired.

I have gotten them in the mailbox and along with the envelope from the trade, was another envelope from the postman with the money I owe written on it. So I had to put the extra cost in that envelope, stick it back in my mail box and the post man picks it up.....we're all here for the same reason, to save when and where we can. Is all I would suggest is that if you can't afford the postage, you probably shouldn't be offering to do the trade
Agreed? MaceyMouse

Just asked this same question at the post office. If it is over 1/4" thick then it goes under package rate which is higher than the regular postage. I had mailed my daughter a bunch of coupons in a legal size envelope and put 2 stamps on it. When she received it, it had postage due. I couldn't understand why since I put extra postage on it. The postal clerk said it is entirely a different rate - package rate when it gets over 1/4" thick.
