The only thing I would ask of the moderator of this swap, is to put in the information for the next newbie of what the cost can amount too. I never realized how much until those postal people are telling me my 'lumpy letters' have to be sent as small packages. :|
I think she did warn us somewhere it could be costly but everyone I have sent was 1.1 oz...just over the 44. But I would rather go ahead and put on the extra 20 to be sure it gets there and the receiver doesn't have to pay any postage due.

It makes a different in the way the "flap" is on the envelope also...if you use the flap on the end (like a manilla envelope) it costs more than if you use an envelope that a regular letter comes in where the flap is on the long edge of it....something about a "package" vs an "envelope".

I can't imagine the folks that are in 2 or 3 of these booms at once...holy moly the post office must love them

:P
