I like the idea of adding the packing peanuts. I'll have to give that a try. I've used a bubble envelope before and stuck a stiff piece of cardboard inside to make it rigid so I could ship it as a First Class parcel rather than an envelope. I think the "rules" are the package has to be either thicker than 1/4" (not a scant 1/4" :lol: ), or rigid to qualify as a parcel. I suppose it is a hassle for the mail delivery person to have to scan the delivery confirmation label but I say just let us pay the extra 80 cents if we want to get delivery confirmation on something we send....sheeeessshhhh!
Oh and one more bit of info, if you print your own Priority Mail Labels from the USPS website on your computer, you get Delivery Confirmation for free (plus a reduced charge on the mailing rate).
