I just got warned at the post office that they are starting to crack down on letter mail they think has anything other than paper in it. Anyone had any issues lately?

I had a whole batch retuned to me a while back but that’s it, no other issues. I think that was an overzealous postal carrier that emptied the mail box and noticed. Sadly it’s the box at the front of my main hospital so that convivence is gone but no issues since. When it happened I googled it and found that they have been “cracking down” for years, lol. Many folks who ship tiny items on Ebay were complaining about it.

Thats a relief. Thanks Doug. I was concerned from how she talked about it.

There is never any guarantee but I do send a ton of mail out without issues. On the bright side, when they did send a hole pile back to me that one time, at least they send it back. Of course, you need to use a proper return address so that could be an issue.

I was asked at the post office if my letter contained only paper when it had an obvious lump in it.
I replied it was a musical birthday card, the ones that play when you open them.
They have the same lump as a puck or washer.
The postie seemed embarrassed and said “oh ok”

I only go to the post office to buy stamps. All letters go in the box.

My go to line at the post office. But if you’re sending overseas, they won’t take those. I was mailing to Oz, she asked about the lump and I said singing birthday card. She said they won’t air mail those anymore, because it might be something else. So I took it and threw it in a mail box. It made it.

I’m an oddity in my local post office.

Nice, polite, curious, etc… so they always say hello in a genuine way and they’re used to my “singing cards” :rofl:

Ok, mother nature can go to hell. Looks like Halloween is going to be shitty and painful. 50km/hr wind gusts makes setting up and keeping a decent display going tough. Then it says it will start raining when the kids start coming out and stop at 10pm when they all go home. Dammit. One lousy day with a 4 hour window for the kids, this sucks.

When I go to the post office I don’t give AF. I ask 'em if the package smells. Shit’s legal.
I put a clone in a box and took it down there. Fucking cookies genes. Postie asks what’s in the box I say it’s just a small plant. She says awww a plant! Another postie comes out of the back room and says “your plant stinks”. So I repackaged it in a smell proof bag and shipped it.

Canada Post is hurting. Been losing money for years. There was talk of mail delivery only 3 days a week to save on labor costs.
They crack down on letter mail to get you to spend more on alternative packaging. Screw them.
