I found out today from a reader on this board about using the Tyvek envelopes for posting. Welll! Talk about a big difference in postage. I posted a package to Canada for $10.00 less than it would cost to use the USPS priority mail box. I had no idea this was an option. :oops:
Many of you already know this, but I'm posting for those of us who just weren't that savvy. Postage saved is money for mre fabric! Karen :thumbup: |

**Tyvek envelopes are like the gold envelopes you can buy, but they are made of a plastic like paper called Tyvek. It is virtually indestructible and very light weight.
You can buy plain Tyvek envelopes almost anywhere that sells envelopes - Walmart, Walgreens, the office supply store, etc. The USPS also provides Priority Tyvek envelopes for free with Priority mail shipping. You can pick these up at the post office or order them online at usps.com. These are not flat rate, so your shipping charge is based on where it is going and on the weight of your package. Unless you are mailing something really heavy, it is usually cheaper NOT to use the flat rate boxes, even for priority mail. |
thank you!
