Calamity Kris Posted November 27, 2021 Posted November 27, 2021 I went to the post office yesterday to mail a return. The envelope was about the size of a CD and weighed 2.5 ounces. The counter was busy so I used the self service kiosk. The postage came out to be $1.59. When I finished, I noticed the counter was empty so I went up front to drop it off, (The mail drop was taped off with an out of order sign). The clerk behind the counter told me I used the wrong postage. My item was considered a "parcel" not an envelope because the envelope I used wasn't paper. My "parcel" cost $4.50. And they wonder why the post office is losing business...... 1 1 Quote
