Hi Cougar242, hope you're well! Just sent off 7.5 oz envelope labelled as an 8oz package (so it should reach you, np!)
So I have been working on decluttering the house, and some website or other said "even if you receive something as a gift, you're not stuck with it forever..." so in that vein, MIL collects stamps and about 10 years ago bought DH the whole "Celebrate the century" 10-sheet set.
We don't collect stamps. Sorry, just not our thing. We tried, we aren't into it. A quick search on ebay confirmed these aren't really worth anything more than face-value, so I'm mailing them... a few at a time... to you
So if you have a little one in your life, starting this week, they could start a (cancelled) stamp collection. In a few months, they'll have a lovely set! If not, no worries, I just want less stuff in my house and-- hey! It's $48 in pre-paid postage just sitting on my shelf!
So anyway, that's why your envelope is, seriously, COVERED in stamps... not only does it take 8 to send it (ah the good-ol days of $.32 postage), but the stamps are bigger than regular stamps, too.
Cheers!
