I know that this has been brought up a couple of times already but I wanted to let everyone know that all of my flat rate envelope packages that I was going to ship out yesterday were denied. I was told that the flat rate envelopes are for DOCUMENTS only. If they are not flat they WILL NOT be accepted. They had printouts even to show me about it as well as new signs on the wall stating this. I was told that this is not a new rule. Just a rule that they had never enforced before. I went to a few different PO both yesterday and today and was told the same thing by all.
Anyways just wanted to let everyone know. No more fabric in the flat rate envelopes (well at least shipped from me). |

How disappointing. I send all kinds of things in those. I had no idea they were supposed to be for documents only. The way they advertise, I thought "if it fit, it shipped".

I just sent a few out and they went.. and they were stuffed!!

What does the flat rate envelope look like? Got a photo?

I don't do a lot of flat rate shipping. I know it is easier to pop the item in a F.R. envelope or box, but I'm not so sure it is cheaper.
I did notice about a week or so ago on the USPS.com site they were clamping down on the F.R. envelopes. It couldn't be more than 3/4 inch thick. Pretty soon FedEx will be the rule. |
