Mailing out invitations in the rain/storm?? (Urgent)

The post office gives no fucks about your envelopes.

Not to be a buzzkill - but hand cancelled or not - at some point during the mail process - they are going to go through a machine.

Also, they're likely going to get wet if they go through a rain storm - either when they are getting delivered, or when they are sitting in someone's mailbox waiting to be picked up after delivery.

I mean, the post office doesn't have a motto, but it's commonly thought to be "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." which would mean the same thing for mail.

They are just envelopes. They are going to travel all over the country potentially world depending on your guests. There is literally no way to prevent them from getting dirty. The envelopes are supposed to protect the interior contents...

IMO, you are focusing your energy on things you cannot control. Unless you physically hand deliver them.

@LaGrosera are you in my head?

I've gotten mail/sent mail during Tropical Storms and such and everything arrived/sent fine. I understand your concern, I would mail them anyway or just wait to mail them until Monday or Tuesday if you really need peace of mind. 2-3 Business days won't make too much of a difference.

ETA words are hard

I really don't think it matters ... at all. Just send them

@Vicki Yes I am. *insert diabolical laugh here*

This is not Urgent. This isn't even an issue. The post office does not just leave mail outside where it's pouring rain and mail is usually always covered somehow. I would totally not stress this and just know that it is out of your control.

@thermo - that's really offensive and inappropriate.

Ahh, yes, the racist pro-Trump trolls have started to come out...

OP

Double post.

But still. WTF.

Well then.

Aren't you just a peach, @thermo.

@unaware - I think it's some old school pony express, or made for a movie motto - but my grandfather used to be a back up postman - and he used to say it whenever he had to go fill in. I had to google it today to make sure I got the intensity of the phrasing haha

Holy shit that escalated quickly. Rude.

Thermo WTF????

I'm nipping this in the bud. This post is locked from future commenting.

@thermo - that comment was disgusting and a flagrant violation of our Community Guidelines. Our moderating team will be in touch shortly about our violation policy.
