Hey hostess, do you have the legal size FRE's?? your gonna need one for my strips.. . you can order them online..
I'll look into them - thanks for the heads up.
I know there's talk of taping the heck out of the envelopes. I have no problem applying tape so the package is secure. I've heard the POs can refuse FRE if the shape is totally mishappened and held together by tape...kwim?

I have an 'email' from USPS stating that any and all FRE's that can close and seal and the envelope is not cut to shape it MUST be accepted..

IF IT FITS IT SHIPS.

I do all my swaps this way.. and I host a swap every month.. I will tape the flap down then I will tape all around front to back to make a 't' with the packing tape.. you will see when it arrives to you..

have you ever had any issues with the tape? ... the priority envelopes I have say they "must seal with adhesive provided" and our office has a worker who is very strict on tape so i am always afraid it will be rejected if I use extra tape.

I would think that if you don't put it out of shape and use a few pieces of tape to reinforce the PO tape it should fly. Print out the info from the USPS website and take that with you.

I can't believe it's Thursday - June 29 already.

Signups will close soon - don't delay if you've been sitting on the fence thinking about joining the fun.

When my mailing address goes out - sign ups will be officially closed.
Please don't ask to be added in or to add any more sets. It makes me feel awful to say no - but I will have to.

Besides it's the 4th of July weekend and I won't be sitting at the computer to answer PMs -
TOO much happy times to partake in with family and friends.

Thank you in advance to understanding.

See this is what gets me confused. :lol: Isn't it Wednesday? :D

No, my postal lady gladly accept them. as long as the envelope are not cut to fit.. I can the flap to -reinforce- the flap, and a piece of tape front and back horizontally and vertically to make a T.. and I tape a piece over the mailing label to reinforce it as well.. I dont have any problems.. She was the one who gave me the copy of the email..
