[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 8415628, member: 13307"]I did do exactly both of those things. Took the info (what I had) to my local postmaster, who promptly told me there was nothing they could do to help and no extra information they'd be able to offer. In fact, he told me it was probably my fault for not selecting the correct package type (envelope vs. package) - which is nonsense, because I've literally done this same type of label/package [I]thousands[/I] of times. But it's always easier to blame the end user, right? And I believe I already mentioned in my original post that I'd called them multiple times today without anyone being able to offer any competent assistance. The best news of the day, though, is that [B]I HAVE THE RECEIPT[/B]. I have the receipt from when I had the local PO scan the label in (it scanned at the correct weight and no extra postage was required at that time.) Why do I have the receipt? Because I don't trust them, and making them scan in the labels and keeping all the receipts has saved me in the past. I'm thinking some other package got stuck to mine during the scan process (I don't know how it works, but without any reason why they think I should pay triple for my package who knows) or they're just trying to see if people will just pay bills if they send them. I wouldn't put it past them (city of Chicago used to do that to my dad all the time when I was a kid, sending him parking ticket after parking ticket. Thing is...he's never been to Chicago.)[/QUOTE]
