More tips about post cards:

Funny shaped post cards [i.e. not the standard shape or size of mail] are thrown out by the USPS. We don't normally handle them, although some do get through. think about it, before buying that Tweety-bird shaped card.

Postage for a postcard is 20 cents, domestic, 60 cents to Canada/Mexico, 70 cents international. This is for standard postcards. Larger ones go at normal envelope rates, 34, 70, 80 respectively.

No return address on an undeliverable card? trash.

Don't forget, the USPS is raising rates on postcards soon. I forget when, but it's soon.

labels are a good idea, but even they can come off in the automated process, or become smudged. Don't write addresses or messages in pencil, it makes it hard to read, and can really spoil my day. LOL
