I had everything $2.25 ready to go, only for the clerk to tell me I can't use regular mail and have to use airmail instead. Which is just extra $1.75 and annoying.
Besides, I know airmail only saves maybe two or three days, so paying nearly double doesn't make sense. It’s all going by plane anyway; it’s not like an AT&T delivery van is going to drive across a massive lake.
But the people at my post office keep insisting it's mandatory. Honestly...
They're lying. If you want to send it via standard mail, they have to charge you for that service and send it that way.🙄
