"I looked out the window to see the mailman sorting the mail in the rain"
get him fired

[quote="siggyminx"]Hi Vhorizon,

I slap on a .75 cent stamp on a 9x 12 manila envelope that I fold in thirds and then stuff it into a Size 10 business envelope (the long white security envelopes) and then I slap on a .39 cent stamp on the white envelope.

I am saying I put more postage just in case the actor/actresses includs a card board backing for my autograph photo (I don't include a backing I just print PLEASE DO NOT BEND on the 9x12 envelope because my postal carrier doesn't care how he throws my mail in my mail box he'd be happier cramming every darn thing in there just so he could get done with his deliveries earlier.

Oh, right, you did say you didn't put a backing (that makes a difference in postage!!) Thanks. Yeah, I wish postmen, UPS, etc. would take more care with our mail and packages!!! It's pouring out here in Maine and my mail was soaking wet (I looked out the window to see the mailman sorting the mail in the rain). How nice! Glad I didn't have any autographs today!!

if you want to "waste" money you are allowed
its your right
she has no right yelling at you
she has no right even asking why you want 75 cent stamps
get her fired

You said this was for a 9x12? I actually had them weigh it at the post office. The SASE (with the cardboard backing I send with it) was an 87 cent stamp, and the whole thing (original envelope, letter, and SASE) was more ($1.11 I think). The 6x9 envelopes were 63 cents to send. I wonder if I should try just putting 63 cents on it if you guys are and the post office isn't saying anything :D

wow u should report her or something lol. anyways, i usually put a 63 cent stamp on mine, depending on what i'm sending. i usually ask my father to buy the stamps since he works in a postal office and i go around like 3 different postal offices lols

I always put two 39 cent stamps on my envelopes. I don't like going to the post office either, except they really seem to go overboard sometimes.

Anyways, I've never had a problem with two 39 cent stamps. I sent Bob Bergen 3 game covers and a photo, he sent me them all back signed with another one of his photos. Included was a file folder (which I also always do) to keep it all safe. I was pleased to see that my two stamps were enough for this rather full envelope.


Stick with 39 cent stamps! You'll find it easier to buy a booklet of 20 of them at the store for $7.80... which isn't too bad. Much less than going to the post office.


Good luck!

:) Andy it took me a few hours to reel form the way I was being screamed at and scolded by this woman to relaize I didn't deserved being yelled at for giving her business by buying stamps. Besides the fact I worked for the USPS 3 months ago for Christmas break and I was lucky I didn't encounter an employee like her thank the heavens....


I am so afraid of going to my own post office now for fear of being confronted by her I let the USPS customer service line know that too.

I'd complain about her. People like that get on my nerves.
