Title: Free Postage
Post by: KingJoey on November 23, 2011, 07:20 pm
I hate the Post Office. Every time I deal with them I come away pissed off. So about a year ago I decided that I am going too stop paying postage. I send bill payments in for free and letters and what not all the time. My system is easy and it works.

Now its time that I share the secret the Post Office doesnt want you too know, how to send letters for free:

Dont tell anyone - Put the return address as the receivers address and the receivers address as the return address with no postage.

The Post Office is required by law to send the letter back because it doesnt have the proper postage. So they will return the letter too the return address which is the address you are actually shipping too. I have done this for a whole year now, I am not trying too save money I just like ripping them off because I dont want too help pay the idiots working at the Post Office for sub-par service from overpaid people. You know how much a post office janitor STARTS at, $18 hour.

So basically, you're just a petty thief.

Your mother must be so fucking proud.

Wow, Variety J, little harsh maybe? I thought KJ's "tip" was kinda funny.

Probably not a smart thing to do for important mail, but could be funny to do it to a friend or whatever. KJ wasn't saying he was fucking Al Capone running the streets dude.

Variety Jones is a weed seed vendor. Based on his post it would deduct that hes just pissed cause all he has is seeds and no weed roflao.

I wasnt even mad when I read it I was laughing so hard. Im like wow this guy must have part ownership in the post officer or something lol.

The plan doesn't exactly sound full-proof to me. I don't think it is worth risking a lost order to save a stamp or two

1.  this idea of course doesnt work, unless you are mailing in the exact same zipcode you are mailing from.  you reallythink you can drop a letter in a NYC mailbox with a return address in cali with no postage, and the post office is going to deliver it?

2. kingjoey is a confirmed scammer

OK, wait a sec. Calling someone a scammer here is a serious accusation, 2nd only to calling someone LE.

May I ask why you say that with such certainty? I am really interested in your answer, whether you're just blasting him, which happens, I understand ... or you have a tangible reason ... if you don't feel like posting your "proof" (for lack of a better word) publicly, would you PM me please?

thanks,

Never dealt with him, but the fact that there's a thread dedicated to him being a scammer getting stickied might lend some credibility.

I'm pretty sure this works, but it's a dick thing to do -- the post office needs the money to run -- and will bring attention to your package which is unwanted in this business.

I have read this on other boards before and it won't work. It'll end up in a dead mail facility

I'm in agreement about this NOT working - just ask anyone who's ever worked for the post office. They've heard this joke before.
