Hi guys, If you want to send something in a PWE you should be putting 66 cents on the envelope. This PWE with a top load more than likely will not go through the hi speed sorting machines without damage to the top load. You need to put a 46 cent stamp, plus another 20 cent for the non-machinable surcharge. That way the PWE is handled by hand and won't go through a machine. If you have ever been in a USPS distribution center and watched the letters go through machines at 30,000 pieces per hour you would see what I mean.

I know- I know- you do it all of the time and your Post Office lets you do it, and blah blah blah. I'm just telling you the regulations and you can do what you like. Howard is correct by refusing this request. This top load SHOULD be in a bubble mailer or photo mailer. Howard, if you send it in a PWE the customer will probably be upset because you charged him too much for postage.
