Yea, there are going to be a lot of postal workers that view those as non-machinable. I don't want to say butterfly stamp because its likely more than 1 ounce but you should be able to mail those as non machinable without issue. Just the problem with ESE is for the tracking it needs be machinable as it ties into the scans for USPS Informed Delivery. PWE in a card saver is what works best now. Pre-ESE when I sold heavy we just shipped in a top loader and put a butterfly on it. There was no "tracking" so it didn't matter it was like and extra .20 cents. With ESE it is insured just put in your listing how low cards are shipped and file a PIP if something arrives damaged. I think people drastically overthink this.
When mailing, can i drop them in a usps blue mailbox, or do i have to go to the post office? Im finally down to mainly cards under 20$ and am changing ese.
@@MPsCards thanks! My post office told me not to use ebay certified envelopes because “if they drop them on the floor they’ll throw them away” which is insane. Still gonna go that route though.

Use the 9x4 ebay one's will have no issues, I used to use the 5x7's had issues with the post office.
Yeah, I mention in the video how those have worked great. I use them for 9-14 cards. For 4-8 cards, I use photo mailers (for weight reasons).

@@normstewart67-99 mailers like these go with regular mail. Regular blue mailbox, not the package drop-off.
