That’s very interesting. According to the postage calculator on the USPS website, there’s no discount for paying online for the padded envelope. I wonder why, since there is an online discount for all other priority options. The price is listed at $4.95 for both online and in the post office whereas for the cardboard envelope it’s $4.75 online, a difference of $0.20. I think I’ll continue to use the regular flat rate envelope label as long as there are no delivery problems. If they start being marked “postage due”, I think the easiest solution would be to just stick a George Washington $0.20 stamp on the package with the label. This assumes PayPal doesn’t add the padded envelope option soon, which, given PayPal’s record, seems to be a valid assumption. 🙂
