Was the envelope you used a business size? If it was, maybe it has to do with the dimensions of the envelope, too.

Seems like some of us on the board get different answers from different post offices. I took these pictures the best I could to show how thin they are. Just wanted to let you all know. I am sure others will have different experiences.

dying buttons is pretty easy just time consuming. you need to buy dye-rite following the instructions.
I found that if the water is hot it seems to go a little quicker. I found this info of course on PINTEREST! Craft buttons in the packages from Michaels or Joann seem to work better than just white buttons you would find on a shirt. But you can dye any button. I did dye some grey ones also gave a really pretty mauve pink.
