I have a good postman, the SASE's are too big to fit through my letterbox so when he comes in the morning he knocks on the door and i go and collect it from him. one has been bent but it must have happend before it reached him, luckily it was only bent and not creased so with a little pressing it came flat.

I wish the mailmen could be that nice around here, but luckily i have a big mailbox.

My postmaster never bends my envelopes. If it's too big to fit in my postbox, instead of rolling it or folding it, she leaves me a note saying she has something too large to fit in the box and to talk to her and she'll give it me.

Nope, never happened so far. {thumb2} Go Postmen! xD HAh!

My postman is very nice
He left it under the doormat and left a note saying that it couldn't fit through the letterbox so he put it under the doormat.

My mailman did, until now which he puts the envelope by the door.

none, of my stuff have actually I'm happy about that
thats cuz I write PHOTO INSIDE- PLEASE DO NOT BEND! on the SAE

=)

yes, thats why I went face-to-face to him and told him what his actions do. OF course, the guy is just doing his job. I don't blame him. But since I live in an apartment, he puts what is proper to fit in the mail box, and all large mail he gives it to me personally. You should just ask you mailman the same, and they probably wouldn't mind. Or make one of those large boxes for mails if you live in a house. they keep 8x10 envelopes quite nicely.

of course, I make sure my SASE's always have hard-backing and "Please Do Not Bend" so they understand the material inside is a photo or sorts

I haven't gotten really any autos other than on baseball cards recently so none of mine have come back bent...but I used to get 8x10s that were bent.

My mail lady made me mad one time, I saw her coming down the road because I was outside so I walked down the driveway to meet her, and when she stuck out the mail for me to grab she said "I'm glad you're down here, this one's kind of thick and I didn't want to have to bend it." I felt like saying, "well then don't!"

We dont, pay extra postage in the UK for that, it's a person right, to have unbent mail is'ot it?

What are we surposed to do, we can start writing, "contains photos please rip in half"
Man this is just so silly, surely the celebs, who send us signed photos, a lot of times put "Do not bend themselves, on the envolopes.
