If only it was that easy... :) And actually if you want to send 200
pieces or more I can knock your postage down somewhere around 6.6¢
for the right type of mailing :)

It's called work share, I do the work, they don't charge as much :)
Now.... Where's my Beer? :)



   You help me when it comes time to sending out the invitations for
my wedding in the spring and you're invited --- open bar with
top-shelf stuff!


You get over 200 and we can definitely work something out, as long as your pride is okay with doing a presorted mailing (Mine wasn't) I can guarantee that all the pieces will get there. And get there quickly too. How does an average of about 34.1¢/piece sound as long as you stay under an ounce? :)
