Yes, the USPS requires an additional $.12 postage for square envelopes. We think our baby announcements look best in this format, and we hope you'll agree that it's worth the extra postage.

Please provide 15-20% extra for spillage which is unavoidable with hand-written calligraphy. For orders of less than 50 envelopes please provide 20-25% extra.

No extra postage is required. A standard first class stamp is all you will need to mail your cards. The price of each card includes one envelope. You may purchase extra envelopes when you approve your proof for $0.25 each.

Not necessary. Part of our standard services already include extra inner and outer envelopes. The number of extra envelopes is dependent on the quantity of invitations ordered, for example: 100 invitations, 10 extra envelopes. If you require more, please advise us of this prior to placing your order.

No, as long as envelopes fit within the maximum lettermail standards of Canada Post they do require additional postage. The only thing to keep in mind is that you have to watch the weight as well - maximum weight is 30g for the standard lettermail rate.

No. They are all within USPS guidelines for regular mail, except Mini Photo Cards. However, if you include anything with your announcement, like a family newsletter or other items like an RSVP card, it could increase the total weight. If you are unsure about extra postage requirements, please take it to your post office for them to weigh before mailing them out.

All of our invitations are within the regular postage rates. Depending on the number of pages, the weight rarely ever goes over the 30 gram measurement.

Whether you are personally hand addressing the envelopes or have hired the services of a calligrapher it is a good idea to order ten percent more outer envelopes in case of mistakes.

No, labels without a fluorescent stripe cannot be used on First-Class Mail® envelopes. In order to process mail properly, envelopes printed with PC Postage indicia are required to have a "facing identification mark" (FIM). There are two types of facing marks that are allowed with envelopes: a label with a fluorescent stripe or the small vertical bars that print just to the left of the indicium when printing directly on an envelope.

Yes, Mailit can mechanically stamp and stick postage stamps and, if desired, postage paid stamps (TNT) on envelopes of sizes C4, C5, C6, cabinet and all intermediate sizes.

You ran into one of two "gotchas:" you either exceeded the anticipated weight, once you stuffed the envelope, or you violated the expected 1:1.5 ratio on the envelope proportions. The US Postal Service has strict specifications for proportions of mailing pieces that make their high-speed automated sorting possible. Much information, including these specs, is available on-line, at http://www.usps.com/busctr/, and there is even an on-line guide to creating direct mail, at http://www.

No, the price you see is the price you pay. Postage & packing is free, wherever you are based in the world.

No. A standard first class stamp (currently $0.41) is all that is required to mail the magnets. (This includes the magnet holder, glassine envelope and linen envelope) If you are adding additional information to your envelope, it may increase the weight so you may need to check the postage rates with the US Postal Service before you mail the magnets.

Very rarely, a river will meet with a bend in the coastline. Rather than stopping there, the river will turn away from the bend and dump somewhere else. The coastal square in that bend qualifies for the extra commerce from bordering a river. (Coastal squares at river mouths don't get this bonus.)
