Oh man, thats common practice. Also, don't send anything other than a paper item in a regular envelope because they process them through a machine that is supposed to force out anything larger than 3/4 of an inch.

Yes sir, I have a relative that used to run that particular machine for the USPS. I've lost a few items that way, they usually send the envelope to you with a shitty apology and no item.

Cool. So do you happen to know if there really is a difference between shipping 1st class and Priority mail? I always thought 1st was faster...

There is now. Starting this year, USPS is going to deliver First Class mail slower to save on costs (they're in the red).

Sheesh that's lame. How would differentiate, like keep the 1st class mail in the post office longer? Seems lame to me...

Using slower methods of transportation for 1st Class mail, I'd imagine.
