KateyB , your package was mailed today. Please let me know when you receive it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting it together for you!

By the way, for US swappers, please share with me how you have mailed your package out, particularly in light of the USPS' price increases. For example, it was $1.13 to mail a 0.6 oz matchbox swap across the country, but $1.07 to mail a 1.0 oz matchbox swap to Hungary, and $1.80 to mail a 1.4 oz matchbox swap to the UK! So, is it no longer significantly cheaper to mail a package domestically?

I'm told it was not only a simple fare increase, but a classification change as well. So, what qualified as a simple first class envelope last week is now a parcel post envelope this week (a matchbox won't fit through the "letter" feeder and thus is a parcel now). Is that what you have encountered, or was my friendly neighborhood postal worker pulling a fast one on me?

Clarification

OK, I think I understand this now. A first class letter ($0.41 for the first ounce, $0.17 for each additional ounce) can be no more than 1/4 inch thick. When it exceeds this thickness, it becomes a package ($1.13 for the first ounce, $0.17 for each additional ounce). There are other factors involved in the classification process, but I think that this is the most pertinent one as it pertains to matchbox swaps.

Essentially, a matchbox when mailed is no longer a letter, but a package. This has thus doubled the cost of mailing a matchbox swap out, at least domestically.
