This in case the envelope gets torn..some honest employee may forward the wrapped blocks to the recipient with the address in there. Have never had them come back postage due either. I've got a friend that is a manager at a Rite Aid near by; I'm going to ask him for leftover envelopes for their greeting card display since I'm out. I was able to buy 10 at a dollar store once. Business size envelopes work good too. If you use the manila envelopes, it usually costs more.free indeedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00945613713062219160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700855420663637759.post-20489122837997214922010-01-06T15:24:51.256-06:002010-01-06T15:24:51.256-06:00Pat, I'm so sorry.

In almost seven years of the lotto, the number of packages that were lost in the mail can be counted on one hand. EVENTUALLY, everyone gets their blocks . . . though occasionally they seem to take the scenic route.<br /><br />I have only ever used delivery confirmation back in the days when all the blocks were coming to me and I was sending them to the winners via US Priority. And even then, I didn't put delivery confirmation on the packages to the International winners because of the price tag associated with it.sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13408822963659450038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700855420663637759.post-71178938590089695162010-01-06T13:49:03.475-06:002010-01-06T13:49:03.475-06:00Hi Pat,

When mailing 3-4 blocks I've only ever affixed 2-3 stamps and slipped them in a business or craft sized envelope for domestic US delivery. For bulky mailings though I go to the P.O. and let them ck it. Sorry you've had this trouble.rhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16325336840148870756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700855420663637759.post-47824545902525340262010-01-06T13:43:39.378-06:002010-01-06T13:43:39.378-06:00Are we supposed to send them with delivery confirm...Are we supposed to send them with delivery confirmation?
