What's this?

They do ... it is cheaper for them to hold it than it is to send it back.


Mike Golic told a humorous (and sad) story on Mike and Mike a few years ago about this. When his sons were at Notre Dame, he told them it was in their best interests to send their mom a birthday card. One of the cards was held with 'postage due'. One of his kids put a 1-cent stamp on the envelope and put it in the mail. When asked why, he said 'I picked the cheapest option'. Amazing that a college kid (at Notre Dame no less) didn't know how much postage to put on a card. I blame the parents ... not sure my kids would know either. :)

  Hard to believe in this day since there are forever stamps -- TheNuke 11/02/2017 1:55PM
  A forever stamp can still only send one ounce. and not over-sized. ** -- HokieSignGuy 11/02/2017 2:16PM
  Yep, but he noted "cards" in his post -- TheNuke 11/02/2017 4:25PM
  Once got a Christmas card and they wanted 17 cents... -- vthhhi 11/02/2017 1:53PM
  Never heard that before in my life. What would be it? 60 cents? ** -- HokieSignGuy 11/02/2017 1:43PM
  They can offer to do that, but you don't have to accept it. -- 48zip 11/02/2017 1:34PM
  48 is correct. -- Burke Hokie 11/02/2017 2:18PM
