Do these mailers qualify under USPS guidelines as an "envelope containing a rigid object"? USPS charges more if it can't be run through the scan machine..thanks!

I believe that all depends on what is in the envelope. If you don't mind that it gets bent, then it's fine. Otherwise you'll have to pay the extra amount for it to not go through the machine. The envelopes themselves aren't super thick, so they can bend just fine - it all depends on what you put in it.

I would use your common sense, remember this is a plastic mailer, not a box. If you use this, you should put in a box first to protect the covers of the book from damage during shipment

Due to the weight USPS is almost always going to be more expensive than UPS, unless you are located incredibly close to the seller. :) These will ship via UPS the vast majority of the time.

Hi there! For a 6x8 card, you would be best off with the 7x9 rigid mailers.

I have replied several times to the emails. I am not sure why they are not going through. We charge only what USPS charges us for shipping flat rate. I am not sure why you feel the shipping costs are high?

The printer is very new to me, so I just tried 2 envelopes. While the printing was fine, both envelopes were "crinkled" at the left edge. They would be usable in the mail, but it is disappointing to see that they did not feed cleanly.

A First Class letter must be no more than 6" x 9". I didn't measure these and do not use them for letter rate mailings. I only purchased them to send First Class "packages" with tracking, so that size restriction does not apply to my use for them.

The sheets are very thin, I do not think it would be a very good protective mailer, cardboard would be better. They do however work great for print making.

Envelopes with address stickers are OK. I've not done bubble envelopes or heavy cardboard, although it handles light cardboard well.

Sure, it will work for registered mail. USPS just wants all the seams sealed, then they stamp it with the registered stamp, so they can tell if its tampered with.

Maybe my shipment was different because I can NOT put an 8 1 /4 inch x 11 magazine inside and have it lay flat. INSIDE is more like 8 inches wide. Laying flat is very important when shipping collectibles magazines and comics. As another person mentioned there is NO room for cardboard to protect an item from bending either. They are good envelopes if you have something a bit smaller and thin to mail and I do prefer this type over the yellow kraft envelopes because they offer some protection from rain.

I used this envelope to send pictures out that I had done for the holidays. The envelope is sturdy enough were it won't bend but not thick enough to put too much in it. I hope this helps you out somewhat.

No. It will probably be broken if you use this bubble mailer just by itself. Even if you used a box, and knowing the Post Office, it will probably end up broken.

No, they are not bubble mailers nor are they padded. In fact, they seem to be thinner than other poly mailers I've used but they do o.k.

From my experience, yes. I usually just place the entire unopened envelope into shredder an shred it. Never had a problem yet. Keep in mind that you wouldn't want to place a really thick one and try to shred it. But so far I haven't found any junk mail that wouldn't shred. I think you'll be fine.

I've had mixed reaction with the mailing of these. One postal worker said it is considered a parcel. Really? At a mailing store I had one sent for .82 and was really happy with that. Went back to the same place days later and they wanted to charge me over $2.50. After expressing my opinion it went out for around a dollar. They are all over the map with the cost to mail these. The post office charged me over 3.00 each and that is what sent me to other places. Good luck in getting a place that charges what should be charged and not most of the above prices.

You can always send us ( or the vendor ) a note. However, there would be an additional shipping fee in most cases as USPS, Fedex and UPS would charge to resend. At least from us.
