postage?
How much is the postage for the padded flat rate envelopes? I was just charged $8.75. I didn't think they went up that much.

Some times it's cheaper NOT to use a flat rate.
|
i have a good kitchen scale. i use that and the USPS website to determine the best postage. yes, postage has really gone up!
|
I thought it was 5.95 now.
|
Boy I would take that receipt back to the PO and ask to speak to the Postmaster. owlvamp is right, a flat rate padded envelope should only be 5.95. Now a priority padded envelope could be 8.75 depending on weight.
|
$5.95 and that includes tracking, I would talk to the postmaster, my local PO was overcharging me and after talking to the postmaster it stopped.
|
Were you charged that at the post office? If so, and if it's a flat rate padded envelope, it should be $5.95. Here's a handy postage calculator from the post office. http://postcalc.usps.com/
If you were charged that by an online shop, remember that postage often includes charges for cutting, packing, labor, etc. |
I didn't mail my package from the post office . I took it to a convenience store that does mailing. I did stop down there this morning and the same gal was working there and remembered me. She said she couldn't give me a refund; but the representative for their postal station would be coming in soon and she would talk to her about it. She made a copy of my receipt and took my phone number. She had put my package on the scale and weighed it and charged me by the weight. I did get a call back from her this afternoon , saying that she had made a mistake and they have my over charge there for me to pick up. So thank you so much for your help. Sometimes I forget that I need to keep an eye on everything.

Good thing you asked! I know that the flat rate padded envelope costs a bit more to mail then the flat rate cardboard envelope.
