<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doug444, post: 1480711, member: 38849&quot;]It is a category of &quot;fees&quot; by the USPS, not a physical container.&nbsp; It is also a <u>racket</u> by which they squeeze million$ a year out of postal customers, on the theory that a non-machinable mailpiece cannot be run through the machine and must be cancelled by hand, thereby using more time and resources.&nbsp; For over a hundred years, there was no such distinction.&nbsp; Sorry I can&#039;t tell you when it started, but I &quot;think&quot; since 2000.</p><p><br /></p><p>But if you mail small lots, it definitely affects your profits, I guarantee you.</p><p><br /></p><p>The same distinction applies to overseas mailings, except the price difference is even greater between &quot;letter&quot; and &quot;package,&quot; even though they may look the same and weigh the same.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
