Big time. Urgh. I do the right thing and make beautiful Christmas card greetings, admittedly out of paper and not out out cardboard. So much better for the environment, but alas not for the pocket.
Lady at the PO (Yes I am going to diss the Messenger...she wasn't a very nice messenger) - "Its not a card, its a letter", while flopping card envelope around and looking up at it under the light.
Me - "Well actually it is, its home made, from paper"
Lady at PO - "Nope its paper, it will be classed as a letter and that is $2.20 each, you cannot use the card only rate of $1.30"
Me - "Urgh I have 45 to send, seriously its a card, its just home made from paper - not card, surely it will cost less to send, save Australia Post money, it weighs less too, environmentally friendly and all that"
Lady at PO - "You can try send them as a card - but they might bill you later for the difference if they think its not a card"
Me - "Ok I will then"... and I did!
Surely, it will cost them more to bill me for each letter - should they pick them out of the billion that are going through at this time of year - then send me the bills seperately for the difference in postage. Me thinks they are going to not notice, and nor should they who ruled a card MUST be made of a card. Pft.
