Thanks Jason. The YouTube channel has been a fun project for me although I had zero video editing experience so it was a pretty steep learning curve and the editing is pretty time consuming. I’ve enjoyed it though.

Has anyone besides me felt the pinch of the USPS $15 surcharge? The old lunch ladies at my PO won't let anything get passed them but I keep receiving flat packages with no surcharge applied. Haven't really noticed an increase to shipping charges from sellers either. Anyone else noticing any impact from this?

The "old lunch ladies".... genius! Somehow these same ladies manage to work at my PO as well. I was scared off by the surcharge, so haven't even sent the last few flat. I've packed the stiffer pennants curved within the inner perimeter of a smaller box, and packaged the really soft ones gently rolled.

But I am also eager to hear if anyone has yet encountered the surcharge for flat shipping.

I used to have an old lunch lady at my Vegas PO. Actually, my wife and I called her “Creepy Lady.” God forbid you would ask for Media Mail. If you did, you were in for an inquisition!

I haven't encountered the surcharge yet personally, unless my shipping software is is charging my account after the fact, which has happened before. I know my buddy took his flat packages to the post office and they didn't charge him the surcharge either. I try to lightly roll pennants in a 12 by 6 by 6 box when at all possible, and generally only ship higher dollar or very rigid pennants flat.

I live just outside Omaha, and our small town post office said they had to charge me to surcharge when the policy change took effect. So, I started to go into Omaha to mail…I avoided the charge two times but today they tried to slap it on. I ended up not mailing them. It seems silly that these things way next to nothing, yet we are being charged +$15 to mail. I feel there should be a weight consideration too and plan to write somebody at the PO about it.

I may do what Keith suggests for mailing [emoji2375]

We were offered this red Sox pennant and wanted to see if you guys have any thoughts about it. It's a 3/4 size pennant about 22.5" long. i don't see it in the pennant guide book. Any thoughts?

Thanks!
Lou

Hi Lou!

Can you post some bigger/more detailed pics? Tough to tell from that image whether it's a repro or authentic. A few close-ups of the graphics would help a lot in determining authenticity.

Thanks!
