That's a bit curious - is there a reason why you use Priority where than regular First Class?
Because I get $50 insurance and better tracking. It's a lot more reliable.
Says the person who says that the dick van dyke sigs TTM are real. LOL
To NormanBotts: what does that have to do with the topic at hand?
To the OP: if you use only Priority Mail
1) It's not possible to send SASEs...
2) Why would you ask about Stamps.com? Priority Mail doesn't utilize conventional postage.
To dfreely: as I've said, I had no problems with Stamps.com personally, so I can only speak from first hand experience.
Just because someone else's Pizza Hut pizza was delivered with raw dough doesn't mean mine was. Just because my Pizza Hut pizza wasn't delivered with raw dough doesn't mean that someone else's wasn't either.
When it comes to companies, one size doesn't fit all. To advise against using a product you've never used on the word of someone who may not exist, is, in my opinion, short sighted.
I personally don't advise using or not using companies based on my experiences with their products, nor do I ever offer my opinion on a company based on something I heard from someone else. All I do is state my experiences with them. To do anything else is unfairly fanning the flames of gossip in situations that I wasn't at to know what exactly happened. There's more than one side to any story.
To quote Judge Judy (something that seems to happen often on this forum): "Don't tell me what someone else said. If they're not here to say it themselves, it didn't happen."
So again, not that it matters, since the OP is already grossly overpaying anyway (what are you sending that requires $50 insurance for an UNSIGNED object?!), but I had no problems with the service.
