Message:: [QUOTE="Hobo, post: 352940, member: 11521"]I recently had an interesting experience with the USPO. I bought a coin on eBay (nothing expensive) and the seller mailed it Delivery Confirmation. I got a note in my PO Box telling me I had an item with $2.82 Postage Due. It was the coin.  The clerk explained that the sender had mailed the envelope First Class but Delivery Confirmation requires Priority Mail and I would have to pay the difference between First Class and Priority. (I think he said Priority. It could have been something else. Anyway, whatever it was costs more than First Class.) I asked him why the Post Office accepted the envelope with insufficient postage but still sent it with Delivery Confirmation. He agreed and cancelled the Postage Due since it was a screw up by the USPS, not me.  I contacted the seller and told him about it. He said his Post Office said that it was fine to mail something First Class with Delivery Confirmation.  Even the USPS cannot figure out its rules.[/QUOTE]
