<p>[QUOTE="davidh, post: 2181690, member: 15062"]I've got to say that I don't have any idea what some of you are talking about regarding shipping problems at the Post Office. If you're shipping from ebay and you select <u>First Class - Package/Thick Envelope</u> there is no restriction on size/thickness/bendiness EXCEPT that you are limited to a maximum weight of 13 ounces and a maximum dimensional size of 84 inches (height, plus twice the width and thickness added). There is no too thin or too thick. It can be 1/8" thick or 3" thick. As long as you can stuff it into the envelope it'll go. This all applies to the average coin shipment in a 5x7, 6x9, 8x10 or 9x12 envelope, padded or not. I've shipped with padded envelopes and unpadded envelopes, some with nothing thicker than a coin plus a sheet of paper, some with things big enough that the envelope was deformed into cylinder and I've never had a problem with delivery.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]422468[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
