OT: Postage Due
Here's an update....this was their response when I emailed them:

"Hi, we've never in our life had a package sent that came up with postage due. We ship every card with delivery confirmation and we pay the delivery confirmation fee. The total amount to ship 1 card with delivery confirmation is: $1.92. You can send us the picture and we'll take the picture to the post office. There is no way that you should have owed anything.......especially not: $3.53. By the way, here's the tracking number: 03071790000341739372..........if you go to usps.com it states that the card was delivered today...........it says nothing about postage being due."

Here's a pic of how I got it with their info covered up:

Somehow I think I'm gonna get screwed. I've sent DC and know it's about $3.50 to send it plus postage for the package, definitely not $1.92. I paid $3.25 for shipping and nowhere in the description or shipping info is delivery confirmation even mentioned.

Here is what happened:

The seller took it to the po. The person there thought it was thick enough and just did first class. Somewhere along the way, proabbly at you po there is some guy/gal on a power trip and measuring packages. Since it was not 3/4 of an inch thick, they "upgraded" it to priority and charged you the differance of the two prices.

EXACTLY. i wouldn't pin this one on the seller at all. heck, he stood in line, got the PO worker to weigh it and paid POSTAGE DUE at time of shipment. If you should be upset, it is at the post office. they screwed the pooch on this one.

on a side note, that is the reason why i try and stick something extremely light weight but thick on both sides of the card to make sure my packages fit.

You both are probably right. It's a thin package but he knew the DC# and emailed it to me in his initial response so it just wasn't something added in the middle. That's why I don't understand a sticker for $1.92 on it and he's got a DC#. I always pay mine together and the sticker has the total on it.

I too do take old bubble mailers and cut them in 2 and wrap around a card I'm sending out to make it thicker and to protect it. I doubt this person did that though.
