No post office should be charging you extra for hand cancelling. Go to another post office. I have 90 invitations hand cancelled, it took less than ten minutes, and it wasn't complicated.

ETA: I see you're in Manhattan - I took mine in Bklyn, if you want to meet up I work by GC, and have no problem taking them to the post office I went to in Bklyn.

I REALLY need your help, I tried having my invitations hand cancelled and they wouldn’t do it. First they said that I had to pay .05 cents for any amount over 50, so I said fine, it would mean paying $3. Then he says but that they won’t do it because this is usually a courtesy service and that they were too busy, WHAT its 8am in the morning there were 3 tellers open and there wasn’t no one on line or in the post office. I was so pissed, I have just had it with the post office, if you read my Postal vent post you know what I’m talking about.

So I need your help ladies FH & I will be in Long Island tomorrow, can anyone recommend a post office in Nassau that hand cancelled there invitations with no problem. Near the Baldwin/Rockville Centre area is preferable. (FYI- I have 120 invitations)TIA

OMG Christine, you are SOOO sweet. Thank you soo much, but FH & I have the day off tomorrow so we are heading in to Long Island to see if we have better luck out there, but if need we will try Brooklyn as well.

You know after dealing with people who are so rude, inconsiderate and down rigth lazy,, Its nice to know there are sweeties like you around Christine. You know how stressful this whole wedding process can be at times, so your offer is truly appreciated. From one crazy bride to another THANKS

FYI: Most of the local post offices don't even do it....they just forward it to another post office that does

I would honestly not stress it. I hate to tell you this, but most invites go through the meter anyway. And one of my friends took hers to be hand cancelled and they lied to her and meter cancelled them. Her invite arrived fine. Unless your invite is super thick, I would just drop it in the mailbox. Don't stress over it!!

TOTALLT AGREE!! don't stress about this little thing... they have to go through sorting machines to get where they are going anyway.... DH is an engineer and he worked at the postal sorting center on a job one day, and said you wouldn't belive the machines they have to go through to get sorted to go where they need to go..... that part of the process can't be avoided.... and really if you think about it, how often do you get mail that is totally detroyed? and if your guests really care so much about what the envelope looks like, they have bigger problems.... LOL
sorry! this is just one of my pet peeves because i just feel like its the last thing brides need to be stressing about.
