Post office problem

[TKH1957]

If there's a minimum thickness, why can't the seller just put in a cardboard or something to get that thickness?

That’s what my local post office told me that’s all that is needed to get tracking. Just make it a little thicker. I reported her to Etsy. I don’t like her threats of me getting banned and black balled and accusing me of fraud and being dishonest.

Nothing stopping them other than it would increase the advertised/actual shipping cost and or ignorance.

The thing is you may well be getting a better deal on shipping cost if you pay the PO the extra as opposed to the shipper increasing the cost.

Or simply save up to order enough patterns at one time to make the package trackable without extra cost.

You are going to spend more for 10 $1 items sent separately than 10 $1 items sent in one package.
