Well I recently moved into a new home, and our mail box system is completely diffrerent now! Our mailboxes are like shelves with doors that lock. I never have to worry about my mail being bent. I love it!
Thats sounds like the perfect mailbox....Your talking about the kind where there are a lot of peoples mailboxes, right? You dont have to worry about someone knocking your mailbox down either. I hate when people knock down mailboxes...grrr..
I decieded I would see what happenes if I write "Do Not Bend" on the last letter I wrote.
Yup! That's it! LOL aww, people knock your mail box over? How mean!
[quote="Chrissy"]My mailman used to bend my mail no matter how larger or how many times i wrote do not bend on my envelopes! [/quote]
Same here. Now she tends to not bend them. We have a bigger mailbox. But, she still bends things when it is not needed. Like just the other day I got an autograph in the mail. It was in a 9x12 size envelope and it was all that was in the mailbox. She put a huge crease right down the middle of it. That wasn't needed. She could have very easily just set it in the box sideways.
My mailman STILL bends my photos and I have written "DO NOT BEND" all over my envelopes!! I don't know! I think my mailman secretly hates me or something LOL Honestly, I need to meet the guy and give him a talking to! Maybe that'll teach him a lesson! HAHa

I wouldn't do that. If you talk to him, he may get even madder and start destroying the mail. I would have a talk with the postmaster or your local post office.
Thanks for your opinion rpbluesman. Personally, I don't understand why the mailman would get upset if I spoke with him! Especially If I told him that these envelopes contain something important to me. Then I'd hope he would understand and at least make an effort to NOT bend them. I honestly don't think me going to the post office with my complaint will do much so I'm better off talking directly with my mailman.

But of course that's IMO.

I agree, talking to him could help, and if I were him, telling my bosses would make me madder then talking to me. and if he does start destroying your mail, thats a federal offense
All very good points. If the mailman seems like a friendly person, then I would reccomend talking to him. If he seems the non-sociable type, then I would go to his superiors.
I'm from England... living in Australia, I know that in England they just put it in the porch through your door and the letters are fine... Australia is a different issue!!! It's like they are in training for Mr Universe... no matter how much you write "PLEASE (nicely) DO NOT BEND" they still insist on bending them!!! thumbs down from me....
Also annoying that in Aus there is no (to my knowledge) padded envelope that is blank... they all have 'Australian Post' on them (which I presume wouldn't be good if your sending it as an SAE overseas.
Anyway thats all the whinging from me today...
All the best in your collections,
