Invitation Frustration-beware of square invitations!!!!

I was so excited that my invitations arrived & the store is doing the caligraphy for me! They came out beautiful.

Until today...

I had the post office weigh the response card & found out it is .64 cents. Supposedly there is a .20 cent surcharge because it's square. Ok I can deal with this.

Then I had the whole invitation weighed at my local post office (Long Beach) & they gave me 3 different amounts. They couldn't figure it out! First they told me $1.56 then $2.19 then $1.22. They were pretty sure it was $1.22 though. So I went over to Island Park & they were very confident it was $1.56-they told me because the invitation is not 'regulation' (ie. its square) its considered a package.

Who do I believe? Plus Long Beach will not let me hand cancel them-they say they will do it. But I remember hearing about a girl who was told this & they didn't do it & her beautiful invitations were all messed up from the machine. Island Park will hand cancel it in front of me or let me do it depending on how busy it is.

Sorry for the long vent I'm just so frustrated-its going to cost me $508 for postage because I have to go through Zazzle.com. The post office doesn't make wedding stamps in the denominations I need.

Oh yea for the girls who are thinking of wax sealing the envelopes-the post office charges extra for that too!
