"$2.50 is a bit HIGH when it costs 88 cents + 12 cents for bubble mailer....."

You really nailed that one right outta the park.

I even asked why it wasn't $.88 cents, and they said because it's not a letter, it's a parcel. I asked to speak to another teller for a second opinion (which is always a comfortable situation, thanks for that too) and they confirmed the $1.71 price.

If you are not 100% sure about something, why even take the time to make a post like that?
