Why was my one ounce letter returned to sender?
I sold some iPhone chargers. Individually they weigh less than an ounce. I put them in a white envelope. I used one postage stamp, covering 1 ounce. I got 15 of them sent back to me. The message said these envelopes are not letter rate, but small parcels. Each is $2.07 postage.
I sent a lot more of these out.Am I going to get them all back? Am I getting screwed by the post office? Any info would be great.
They will most likely all be returned to you. Only letter items can go letter rate. Not to mention, that plain white envelopes can tear up VERY easily in the postal machinery. For small parcels like this, small padded envelopes would be safer. You can usually get several of them in a pack at a dollar store or Walmart or Target.
You were probably trying to screw the Post Office; now the Empire Has Struck Back!
There's a maximum thickness of 1/4 inch, which you likely exceeded. The letter machine will reject this and send All of them back. Postage wasted.

Use the First Class Parcel rate of $2.07 for your 1 ounce parcel.
Hint: buy labels for this purpose on PayPal (buy shipping) and save 38 cents, plus free tracking, like this: https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction.action?tLabels=9400109699937901285625
You did not send a letter, did you? The letter rate is for correspondence, not merchandise. If the merchandise is thin enough, the sender might get away with it. You're getting them back because they are too thick to go through the automated sorting machines. Those who do get merchandise through are screwing USPS, not the other way around.
See if UPS or FedEx will deliver ANYTHING for $2.07.
- Would i get a new iPhone 5c/s if I returned my iPhone 5? So I have an iphone 5, with a dead pixel, I'm still within applecare's 1 year warranty plus I have an extra year that I purchased from my provider. If I returned the iPhone due to it being "defective" (the dead pixel) would I receive a new iPhone due to them having flushed their stock of 5's? Could I do it now or wait another year?
- Will it damage my new iphone when suddenly there's a brownout then seconds after the power returned? I was charging my iphone when suddenly we had a brownout and when i was about to unplug my phone the power suddenly returned in just a span of seconds. I heard that it is not safe for appliances or devices if it is like that because of the electrical wave. Will this damage my phone? I'm worrying because this is my new phone.
- Just received a brend new iPhone in mail from a sender that i don't know him or her? I received a brend new iPhone in mail. The case was opened but everything is in there.

- Iphone SMS and MMS recovery in Chronological order with recipient/sender details specified? I'm looking for software that will allow me to recover deleted data from my iphone, specifically SMS and MMS messages to a particular contact. I've tried UltData but the data I've recovered isn't in order of date/time and also doesn't differentiate between sender and recipient, it's just a list of all the correspondence, is there any program out there that can recover the data I need in the order I need it in?
