Hand-Cancelling Envelopes in Los Angeles?

hibiscus0317, on October 18, 2017 at 5:35 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 5

Does anyone know if Hand Cancelling envelopes still exists in California or LA to be specific at USPS? Does it depend on the Post Office? I just went to 1 and they said we don't hand cancel anymore.

I'm only sending out Save the Dates that are nice & handmade, and I would rather them not have to go through a machine to be cancelled, and them to get bent up. They're 1st Class Mail that's in the 1oz max weight for a forever stamp.

    Hand cancelling when you mail them, doesn't prevent them from going through the machines at every destination between you and the final address. If they are that important to you, put them in a bubble wrap envelope.

    No idea about your specific area--I'm in Atlanta and only a couple usps offices across the metro area will still hand cancel. They are both in more affluent areas in offices that aren't particularly busy. I'd check some local wedding groups on social media for reccomendations. I think in my group someone called them "bride friendly post offices"

    Our local PO hand cancels and stamps "non-machinable" on them so they don't go through any machines.

    And we live in bufu, so I'd imagine bigger cities do too, no?

    Not in Cali but I couldn't find one in Seattle and the post offices I went to insisted to me I wouldn't find one. I didn't have a single issue though with my invitations and they were big, square, oversized, lumpy...all nonstandard things that just add on to the costs.
