I have always viewed dropping over sized/overweight envelopes as a crap shoot. I could have misjudged weight and under stamped the thing. It seems best to minimize the opportunities for problems and hand it to the counter person. Of course this limits the day, for most people, to do a shipping. But again....minimize the opportunities for trouble. And I also remember my rural carrier and substitute carrier at Christmas. I let them know that every piece of mail is important to me and their understanding of that is appreciated.

Just curious, what do most guys give their carrier at Christmas---mine does a great job and I give $75---hope I am not too cheap, if so, I will take it up---the carrier told me most people don't give them gratuities anymore, They are not supposed to accept them, but you have to be discreet.
