I had one last week that put an flat rate priority envelope label on a 3 lb tyvek envelope.
Another one not too long ago, put a 1lb priority label on a 5 lb non flat rate priority box!

Speaking about abuse, the last 2 Priority packages that I received both used UPS labels.

I've gotten one with a 13 oz First Class Label on a 3 pounder. Of course it got bumped to the 3 pound Priority Rate. I had to pay $7+ to retrieve it from the Post Office. Seller did refunded me that amount. She said she "didn't know". lol

OK im pretty sure this change is due to intelligent mail. I was printing a envelope today and I can apply for a e-refund on it if IM barcodeing is used.

Yes they can, most likely they will pull your ability to print online postage too

Regarding shipping items cheaper than they should be, I just got a shipment in a regular size Flat Rate Box (which should have cost $10.35 if I remember) and it had a PO applied postage sticker for $9.05 (which by the way was the 3 pound correct Priority rate for that item 1 Zone away from me.)

Can you use a FRB and pay regular priority zoned rates if it is less??? I always thought you use FRB and MUST pay the FRB postage rate, regardless of zone or weight.

I'm pretty sure they were supposed to pay the full flat rate (hence the name). It's not pay the lower of the flat rate and the regular Priority Mail postage. OTOH, if the box is modified, you would pay the higher rate.

My guess is the person who was working the counter didn't want them to just destroy the box for no reason, I had a friend who tried to ship Flat-Rate but clerk told him it was cheaper with just regular PM. He just opened the boxed and trashed it, what a waste.

I sent an item today, but I mislabeled the weight by one pound(9.5 pound => 8.5 pound).

Would that be a problem? I calculated the postage price and they came out to be the same...

I really need to buy a scale, and stop using body scale (me+item - me = item...)

Is there any deal going on?
