Ethical Question Fellow Quilters:
I usually toss my envelopes w 2 stamps in the mailbox but today I went to the post office.
I had to mail to Canada & do the Customs forms.
Then I handed 6 envelopes with blocks inside to the postal clerk.
She asked me if I was mailing anything dangerous. I said, "just fabric."
She then charged me $1.95 for each because fabric makes it a "package", not a "letter".
I checked with the postmaster & he said those are the rules.
I usually follow the rules, but all my other blocks had 2 stamps & I mailed them that way.
So are we cheating the USPS?
