Can You Mail the Regular Catalogs

[AJPratt]

Like magazines? Address the back and send them in the mail?

I sent some like that; I just went in to my friendly PO, and they weighed them for me. I think they had me put on like 3 regular stamps ,and 1 postcard one. Or something like that.
I would just go in your local PO, and have them help you! And take one for the person at the counter

No problem! And I must say I laugh every time I read your quote under your name

When I mail a letter introducing myself and PC, and an order form, sometimes with my PC business flyer (in a 9x12 envelope) or small catalog, it costs me .63. When I mail a little more for brdes-to-be (usually the big catalog), in same 9x13 envelope, it's $1.38, as weighed by the post office.

Thanks! I thought it was pretty funny and suited me!

Anne - it took me a while to figure out the joke...my eyes just changed the letters around for me!

So you can send the catalog without an envelope...

Kate: I did the same thing when I first read it. I was like, I don't get it. Then I realized what is was. I got a million of 'em. I might change it up a bit every now and then.

I tried to send a catalog recently but was told by the PO person that it had to be in an envelope! So, I had to go back and purchase and envelope! Bummer!
He said there wasn't room to put the postage and the addressee! Exactly how did you do this? where did you put the postage? Where did you put the addressee?

And I too love the quote! I giggled for five minutes when I first read that one! My oldest son looked at me like I was an idiot.

I use the big yellow envelopes too. To me, those will hold ALOT!! (I send my monthly specials, catalog, and whatever else I can find, that way I know that the catalog will arrive without any damage. May be a bit more in postage (but tax deductable) but I feel it is worth it.
