That happened to me once when an overzealous clerk crammed my mailer into a flat rate mailer. I couldn't stop her without outing myself. But I was paid when I explained the situation.

But the clerk decided to save me money. I tried to stop her, told her that I really just wanted to send the box. But she said that doing it her way will save me $4. And probably cost me the shop. But I couldn't make her stop short of taking my box back.

When they insist on first class because it is cheaper and would arrive the same time as Priority, I tell them I want the insurance and tracking that automatically comes with Priority Mail. That usually works .

@Susan L. If the postal clerk insists on First Class over Priority, then doesn't this mean that the package doesn't weigh at least the 16 oz. as the shop requires? Apologies, if you are talking about Hazmat shops. I don't know the weight requirements. It was my understanding that anything over 13 ounces is automatically Priority Mail unless you are mailing books, CDs, and the like using Media Mail.
But you would have to lie on the hazmat question since tiles are fragile.@pambam wrote:
I've sent 9 packages this week with a big square of tile in the envelope with the gift to put it over a pound. Waiting to see how many people will ask.
