Title: shit! didnt know priority cost more!
Post by: darkbananaa on February 07, 2012, 08:12 pm
I just sent several orders out with the standard 1 priority, 2 44 cent stamps with DCN. today I go to the PO to get more stamps and realize that its now 20 cents more. Am I screwed? Is the postman going to ask to pay postage or will it be returned to sender? Im sweatin this pretty hard. Hopefully they will just not scan the dcn and use the 2 stamps to make postage. What do you guys think?

if there is a barcode on it, they WILL scan it. it will likely be delivered postage due, so your customer might have to go to the PO to pick it up. in my area if you get a postage due letter they just leave a little envelope in your bin with the amount due on it and you put the money in the same envelope and leave it. But where I used to live, you had to go to the PO to pay the difference.

Just to update, DB.

My package came through on time with no note about any postage due.  I'm guessing this will apply to your other customers as well, you paid something like 99% of the postage so they are most likely letting it slide or having some kind of grace period.

nope, it's just one of those rarest of cases: government incompetence working FOR you!
