this is also NOT TRUE but the real rules have not gotten down to all the post offices yet. The "It has to be flat" rule was meant to apply to a new class of business mail called Critical Mail, some PO numbskull sent out a flyer applying it to FRE's.
Anyway with the new FR padded envelopes it will be a moot point soon. I would rather send anything in a padded envelope than in a cardboard one. You do have to order them online, however, don't look for them at the PO.
