So yesterday I buy a Priority stamp so smart guy here can drop package off late in the day and not need the Post Office open.
Shipped in a Flat Rate Priority mail large envelope. Place anything in here it says. No need to weigh it says ----Bull!!
I am aware of the 70 lb limit on flat rate boxes (I buy bullets for reloading that is why they send 3750 in a box - just under 70 lbs. Postal Carrier loves those boxes.) I was not aware of a new low weight limit.
I get the package back today.
Since it weighs over 13 oz it needs to be accepted by a Post Office person so they can ask if it contains any banned substance like batteries or perfume, says Homeland Security.
I had used the last of my perfume yesterday so I was good there.
So I take it back to PO today, interact with a real person and get it shipped.
Person at PO today was real nice and made it easy to get the package back into the system. I did not need to pay postage again.
So remember sometimes any weight is OK as long as it is less than 13 oz!!!
