Note: If you are mailing anything over one pound, make sure you present it at a USPS counter for metered postage...this will ensure its swift delivery. Any package over one pound, not presented for face-to-face delivery, sent with regular (self-stick) stamps, is being returned to sender. Always include your return address in the upper left-hand corner of whatever you are mailing.
Thanks for the advice. Godspeed, postman.
