One of the best Lessons I've ever heard on how to Mail First Class Envelopes and Packages with the United States Postal Service. One of the best Lessons, ever.
greeting from 2024. you are right about stamps being a good investment because they always go up lol. thanks for the clear explanation and making this video, it was very helpful
This is a very well edited, well articulated, and helpful video with a bounty of useful information. Thank you for making it and helping me to better understand how to ship specific types of mail.
I always wondered about this subject of first class mail and all (and my dad was a letter carrier from the late 80's to about 2004) and I rarely asked him what first class meant, and maybe all I remembered that it's "regular letters". This definitely helps with all the visuals. I feel I also understand quite a bit more even when having a bit of not as great short-term memory too
That's really cool! I'm glad we could help you better understand First Class mail. There's so much to it and your dad probably knows even more about it than what we've covered in this video :)
This is the best video! I have been needing this lesson and your knowledge and advice is put together so nicely and was easy to follow! Thank you so much for sharing this information!!!. Shipping is so confusing at times! You are the best!!
Very efficient and streamlined knowledge. I only needed this info for a single use, and you've helped a ton. Consider me a subscriber just for the effort in this video. Thank you!
Of all the videos I’ve seen yours is the best! Straight to the point, perfect demo, volume settings and your voice is 👌🏼 bet you don’t get credit for that. Nice job…thank you.
Thank you so much! We're a video production company, so thank you for recognizing the extra work we put into them! Also we're happy to say in the last couple of years we've won video awards for our how-to's!
I'm not entirely sure of it myself, but looking through USPS' FAQ's an old page from 2007 says the max is 3.5 ounces and another says the butterfly non-machinable stamp is up to 2 ounces.
Well put together and very informative! Thank you! It would be nice if we can do the shipping label for First class mail in our USPS account, so we don't have to go to the post office.
I am living in Spain and was wondering about postage prices when sending SASE for autos TTM, this has been invaluable. Thank you for taking the time & effort making this super cool video. You have a great future ahead of you. Liked & Subscribed as per your wishes.
I thought that my bubble mailer with a phone case inside would count as a large envelope because it was just under 3/4 inch thick, but it has to be a package Because it's not bendable. Thanks for the video it's nice!!
Couldn't figure out postage using USPS, so I came here and found your video. Well done. Very impressive. First time visitor and I subscribed! Hope you plan on expanding into other areas aside from postage.
I've mailed homemade envelope s that maybe been a little bigger/odd shaped. And they got there or didnt come back with my return label. If the person owed postage on the other end I never hard about it. I just use 2_4 forever stamps. may not always need 2, but would rather go over than under
When she talked of the mail stream, what she was saying was you can't do a unibomber, or drop off your package with stamps in a drop box. USPS was lucky his bombs never went off in a drop box, employees and bystanders could have been hurt or worse.
Love this video! Can you explain about parcel postage? I have been sending wedding invitations out for clients for 10 years now. Everything used to be large envelope if flexible / bendable then price as large envelope. If not bendable or too thick to go through the slot it is considered parcel which starts at $3.50 for up to 3.5 ounces. Then from there you add the first class ounce cost for each additional ounce. In the past year I have not seen any consistency with pricing. One office just told us that prices are given only based on weight and zipcode. Trying to learn the methodology behind the different ways a post office might determine pricing. Can you help with this? Explain non bendable large envelopes. Or even non bendable small envelopes. Also the surcharges of a bulge (like a wax seal).
If the large envelope is not bendable even if it fits through the "slot" (less than 3/4 inch) it is considered a parcel. To be considered a large envelope it must be bendable & a consistent thickness throughout. A small envelope can be rigid & does not have to be a consistent thickness as long as it fits through the "slot" (less than 1/4 inch). However, it will have to have a non-machinable surcharge added to it. That is also the case with a wax seal. Even if the envelope with a wax seal is less than 1/4" thick it is still considered non-machinable & requires a surcharge. Hope that helps.
@@MyBadHabit94 They put all my non machinable envelopes through the machine anyway and destroyed my items! I even wrote non machinable on it... paid extra and it did it to about 13 envelopes. Made a complaint and they just blamed it on the distribution center. Lost so much time and money!
Thanks! Unfortunately Forever stamps and First Class mail don't include tracking. The only form of "tracking" you can get is if you purchase an extra service called Certified Mail. We have a how-to on that here: ruclips.net/video/3oMGCLyOZy8/видео.html
This is a great video with detailed information. I was wondering if bubble mailer falls under first class envelopes? Like the ones on Amazon that are colors, not USPS created ones. It follows all the measurement requirements but I wasn't sure if it would be classified as a package or envelope.
It depends how thick the bubble mailer is when the item is inside of it. If it's 3/4 inches thick or more then it's considered a First Class package. If it's less than that and therefore flat in nature, then it's considered a First Class flat envelope.
Hi, great video I have a question. I’m going to start sending three-dimensional heart charms by first class mail and because they would tip on their side. I was thinking to use a padded large envelope. Does that sound like the right strategy to you? They are a quarter inch high but because of the three-dimensional heart shape they would tip to the side they’re not flat. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.
I mailed two apology notes to two of the teachers I had in elementary school a week ago. One was a guidance counselor, and the other was a music teacher. I apologized to the guidance counselor for lying to her, and I apologized to the music teacher for calling him evil. But guess what? They have never written back yet, and they probably never will. The guidance counselor still works at the elementary school I attended for 1st grade through 4th grade. The music teacher retired in 2014. I put stamps on the letters and everything. How much longer am I supposed to wait?
@@InnominateKraken Thank you, but the main question I'm looking for is how to do it with STAMPS, i.e. without going to post office. I know you won't get receipt stamped. Couldn't find this info in your linked video.
@@stran1239 I don't think you can do it with just stamps since this is an extra service you have to pay for. And the only way to pay for it is at the post office.
So if I buy my postage for $.56, would I get tracking for free? I just want to send stickers cheaply but I dot want to pay $3.12 for online postage eith tracking
I don't know if this video will help because it's using Etsy, but she does have another video that covers digital stamps that come with tracking: ruclips.net/video/zb1Ys4Na8-Y/видео.html
My FIRST CLASS envelope is lost or stolen. 10 days ago I mailed it inside the USPS in Georgia but it never arrived. No tracking. What options do I have?
Yes, you totally can use other stamps as long as it covers the surcharge! I just figured, it'd be easier for people to use the non machinable stamp so it reduces the chances of error with their postage.
Actually the best way to do it is send and E-MAIL and pay your bills ONLINE. No thanks to the USP"S" I don't feel like having my communications held up for weeks and months.
Hello! I'm sending a good ol' letter and I'm just wondering if we HAVE to use a forever stamp or if we can just combine a couple of personal stamps to add up to .55?
Wait, you mean if I want to ship something like keychains if I go to the post office and buy their envelope and buy their stamp and pay for it they’re going to give me a receipt that’s going to have tracking? For something that’s less than 6 ounces?
From what I gathered from other people who sell keychains and post office workers, the best way to ship keychains is in bubble mailers/padded envelopes (which you can get at bargain stores or CVS, Walgreens, etc). Then you'd have to purchase postage for a First Class package (which should be less than $5 with tracking). You can't put keychains in envelopes because they'll be ruined in the sorting machine and USPS doesn't permit key rings in flat and letter-sized envelopes.
I have a 10 1/2 x16. Front say ready post. The back has a red stamp also marked utility mailer want to know do I have to put more postage on front. I am a bit confused with instruction
If it's a bubble mailer/padded envelope, it'll most likely count as a First Class (if it's less than 13 oz) or Priority package. Either way you'll need to use their Price Calculator to figure out what the exact postage should be: bit.ly/3CfNAfC At 6:21 we go over the Price Calculator and what bubble mailers fall under, hope it helps!
So can anybody explain why usps employees know nothing about Large envelope/ flat requirements? They all swear that it has to bend in half, and be less than 1/4 inch thick. When thats not true
I am having the same problem. Just shipped 3 flats & had to pay for packages. The guy said it was rigid because of where it folds over in the back. I thought all envelopes do that. When I buy them the listing says large envelope not packages. Need some clarification on this. Instead of $1.40 per envelope I had to pay over $4 per envelope today.
@@bradcook6198 I like to just drop my envelopes in a mail box so it's harder for them to refuse it. I've shipped envelopes that clearly violate the rules and they still end up at their destination ok, and it only worked because I put it in my outbox instead of dealing with an employee.
First Class Mail doesn't have tracking unless it's a First Class package. So unless the large envelope is thick enough to be considered a package, then no. You can however purchase a service called certified mail and/or a return receipt to know if it was delivered: ruclips.net/video/3oMGCLyOZy8/видео.html
