Just to add.. I just sent a couple 15 card sets in a PWE to sandyrusty and another member for about $1.15 each I believe, from Minnesota. No hassel with my USPS person either.  

And no one accused you of doing this illegally?  Maybe someone owes me an apology for insinuating that what I suggested was illegal.

Not at all.  It was all done at the post office.  The postal worked, grabbed the two PWE envelopes, weighed them and threw a stamp on them for me. didn't ask me anything about them.   

I sent a plain white envelope late last year containing 13 cards <2 oz for $1.15 US.  I stamped it myself, popped it in my mailbox and it got to my customer in Canada in about 14 days.

In return I received 24 cards and this particular vendor paid $2.95 Canadian at the local post office to send a cardboard lined PWE.  A marking on the envelope said "0.075 kg"... that is 75 g or just under 3 oz.

Interestingly, that took 24 days through the Christmas/ Boxing Day/ New Years season and the envelope arrived sliced open on the top and left side edges.  Nosy postal inspectors on either side, maybe?

Odd, I have never had any one I sent cards to in a PWE say that the package had been opened.  As for the length of time, a few posts have reported that some packages have taken quite some time. I am still waiting on one that is over a month. A combination of the Canadian strike and Christmas we presume.
