What do you do when you get a bent or wrinkled photo back? Or do you not care?
I just put it under a stack of books to flatten it out.

Good question! My mailman keeps folding my 8x10 autographs in half....almost an ironed down flat crease and it sucks cause there is no fixing that! And I've called the post office and they said they'd deal with it....it was like two days later and I got another one bent again! Any advice on what to do?

You can ask to get your mail picked up at the post office, write do-not-bend on your envelope, or try talking to your mailman directly? Hopefully one of those things will work.

Ironing huh? I might have to try that out.....can you tell me how to go about it so I don't ruin my autographs?
And I'm definitely going to have to chase my mailman down....I'm waiting on some Doctor Who autographs and I really don't want those bent...they are not for me!

Best thing to do is send it with cardboard so your mail man will have a hard time bending the envelop.

I usually send photo mailers as SASE, and my mail box is big enough so there's no reason for them to bend it. Never gotten anything back that was bend so far, but it would really ruin the autograph for me. It's just not the same with a big crease in the middle.

My mailbox is small and we always get a lot of mail so it gets bent, even with a cardboard

I turn them over (folded like a christmas card, design outwards) and go over it with a ruler.
Or i just roll a rolling pin. It works =]
