What about the aggravation? Not all of us can take a 50 minute "bone cruise" to the post office

While I will never know exactly what happened, it seems reasonable that the USPS pulled the "too thin" ruling and charged me on the backend. The seller refunded me the $1.34 and Im happy enough with his actions. It was an unnecessary hassle for some pretty pedestrian cards, but I see no bad intent. Thanks for all of the discussion.

As has been said, postal rates recently changed, overzealous employees who don't quite know the rules are quite common also.

It's happened to me a couple times over the years.
