Re: I just got home from the post office .......

Oh yea....I paid $104 for my 90 invites...and I did DIY invitess too thank goodness. Your right, the postage really did cost more than the invites themselves!

Re: I just got home from the post office .......

Re: I just got home from the post office .......

I didn't have to pay for hand cancelling, so you shouldn't have to, either!!! I think I paid $105 for all of the postage. . .yeah, no kidding this is why the PO keeps on losing money!!!

Re: I just got home from the post office .......

I would take them to more than 1 post office… I took mine to 3 different post offices and got FOUR different answers (I got a different answer from different people at the same PO!)

Re: I just got home from the post office .......

I spent close to $200 on stamps. I know what you mean! but now the fun comes... mailbox stalking

WOW! I just read that you have to pay for hand canceling. I would definately go to another post office. That is crazy! They didn't charge me.

Re: I just got home from the post office .......

i'm not going to put the $0.20 stamps on and see what the other post office says.
i'll put them in my bag just in case, but $15 in stamps is a lot of stamps
