Cheapest Way to Ship an Envelope

[Wiki]

This Wiki post was originally written by Daisiefire. Feel free to edit this post to update it or add more information.

Try to wrap the coupons in saran wrap and make them level. There is a slot thing they use at the post office and if the envie goes through it can ship at a not so expensive rate. You can send the envies envelope 1 of 2, 2 of 2 etc.

In order to evade the `getting stuck in the mailing slot measurer``, always Wallpaper the envelope with the coupons - trying not to have them overlap in the middle- then slipping the patchwork quilt of coupons into the envelope - just don`t make a pile and slip it in - spread them around the envelope.

I don't know much it is now but you could try Greyhound.My Dad sent a roof shingle years ago it didn't cost much.I've seen medical stuff being sent to the hospital on the Greyhound bus.

thanks for the ideas..we may try to wait it out..both of us think the prices are a bit high for the little bit of coupons we are trading..

I would definitely wait. I don't think its worth it if all your sending is cents/dollars off coupons. I heard the government is going to force them back to work anyways so the lockout shouldn't last too long.

You May Think Prices Are High, But Take Into Factor How Much Money Your Saving By Getting Those Coupons..

Wasn't meant to be a smart coment. I use to do alot of local trades and would drive to and from alot of times, now I do more small mailtrades. Just enough to not have to envelope way more then 1 stamp. 59 cents well spend.

I heard on the news this morning that they are hoping to resume services on Monday. Let's keep hoping. There was a note in my mail box from CUPW this morning. If you would like to email government to stop the strike and plead your case here are the coordinates:

Office of the Prime Minister: [email protected] (Steven Harper)
Minister of Labour: [email protected] (Lisa Raitt)
President and CEO of Canada Post: [email protected] (Deepak Chopra)
