In short, I love this option but if the USPS employees are gonna keep being stupid I don't know what else I can do but switch. I'm about to go out to another office again in a day or so and this time my bubble mailers state on the side: "this is a non-machinable envelope with a non-machinable fee of 15 cents" Another I sent from the first office with the Forever Stamp and a 15 cent just got back to me today telling me I need 3.30 worth of postage. On the other hand the first one I sent from a normal drop-off box as a test with 3 USA Forever stamps to be safe got sent back telling me I needed 2.15 of postage. A couple went straight through, no issues. But even dealing with the offices I'm sending from, the local offices I'm sending to also have wildly inconsistent responses. Another guy at a different office told me it was too big to be an envelope (even though it literally slid through his tester before out very eyes) and said it'd be a dollar okay two USA Forever stamps, fine. The first guy I took them to was quite nice and said that all I needed for the non-machinable surcharge was a 15 cent stamp on top of a USA Forever 55 cent one, easy. The unfortunate thing is, however, is that most USPS employees apparently have no idea how to deal with the bubble mailers. The only technical difference between them and other envelopes should be that its non-machinable (so has to be hand sorted) and has an additional fee on top. They are within the dimensions and weight of envelopes (just barely, cards are light and flat after all) and make me feel comfortable mailing cards as opposed to straight envelopes which I'm afraid will mess up cards when fed through the sorting machine. I've recently begun selling my cards online, in order to have competitive prices while still making a profit I decided to buy and use a pack of 4圆 bubble mailers, I got the idea from another forum.
