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? :)
