cheapest way to ship a 6oz envelope besides first class

The package doesn't have to be 3/4" thick to buy and ship a First Class Package.  They aren't going to return the package and make you purchase a stamp instead if it's too thin.  I've ship envelopes between 1/4" - 1/2" daily for several years now using First Class Package without any hiccups.

If the package is over a certain thickness, a stamp cannot be used and First Class Package must be purchased, but First Class can be used for any size package under 1 lb.

Well, actually I sent out a 6x9 padded envelope without any extra "padding" to increase the thickness because I thought as you that it would go through OK.

SURPRISE - my buyers post office crossed out "first class package" with a broad line and the notation "NO". Then they charged the buyer postage due claiming that it was a "priority mail flat" ($5.00 and change extra as I recall).  Now in fairness most of the 6x9s I send are in fact thicker due to their contents. This one happened to be an embroidered patch and I just didn't see the need to make a fuss. I don't do it that way any more.

I remember seeing a post on these boards a few days ago from another poster that they had the same thing happen to them.

With competitive price and timely delivery, Huanyou sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.

SO - watch the thickness as well as the weight.
