Actually, weight is not the first criteria the post office considers  
in determining postage. Size and thickness are the first criteria. If  
an envelope is too thick (you may have seen the device they have with  
a small slit in it - the envelope has to fit through the slit), then  
it will require more postage because it is considered non- 
machineable. Their aim is to have everything that is mailed be  
processed by machine (or have you pay extra for having a human  
interact with it somewhere along the line).

that before. I thought it was just by weight, period. An extra fee  
for photos??

Hi Rain Rein,

I had to paste the address in to reply, it usually puts the address in 
automatically.
What sort of sending are you doing?

Wow! That is a shocker!! I also thought that the postage was calculated on 
the weight and size of a package alone and had nothing to do with the contents. 
It doesn't make much sense.
