Random Information

It costs 20 cents more to mail a square envelope than a rectangular one.

Um, why?

Haha. My friend who used to work for the USPS told me something about how they don't slide right through the regular stamp canceling machine for letters, hence the extra charge for hand canceling. Whatevs, it's lame and I always have to warn my card clients about it, too!

it IS lame. i think they do it 'cause they know the square envelopes are so much cuter that people will still pay the extra 20 cents...

i agree with you krista. i bet there was a big meeting at the USPS headquarters about cute shapes and the money they could bring in. imagine how much it might be to send something heart shaped! so cute!
