Your thoughts, opinions and experiences help a lot.

Today I got a chip in a #000 with 90 cents postage.
My local PO won't go there...
In fact, the other day I sent 3 chips (someone ran to PO for me because I had to work) and that tab was $2.80!!!

I will keep working on a 'postage plan'.

Thanks to everyone for hashing out options and sharing your compromises and frustrations.
