I just mailed a first class legal size envelope that was about 3/8" thick with documents folded, I expected to pay about double normal rate. Got hit up for the "parcel". I have always asked them to meter them in the past and they would with normal postal rates by weight. I guess no more, it weighed 1.3 ounces but cost $2.32. Will fax or email it for free next time, especially now that you can sign documents via the internet.
Instead of promoting business the postal service is pushing it away. More evidence that government has no idea how to run a business.
