why do we have to put stamps on our mail?  What does this do?

in the past, one who recieve mail was asked to pay for the mail, so alot of time's it happened that people didn't agree to recieve mail, (if they didn't know the sender or anyoter reason), and so didn't pay!! \nthen it was changed and the sender like nowadays is asked to pay for sending mail.\nas said, the stamps are proof (or a recieve) for paying money for sending mail.\nwhen you send mail you are getting service,many people are needed in order to get your letter to it's reciver, so you have to pay for it.\n\nanyway, why not put stamps on our mail, its very cool right?

Unfortunatly you can't specify what type of mail that you want or don't want. The Post Office is paid by mailers to deliver whatever they send to every mailbox, be it on the street or a PO Box. Sorry.

They are boxes for a carrier to drop off a batch of mail\nfor another carrier to carry further.

it not that long ago when all we had to use pen and paper. it nicer to receive a hand written letter, it more personal than an e mail,and it what we did before e mails and mobiles, try it i am sure you and your recipient will like it better..... don't forget to put a stamp on the envelope, get creative!

Yes I am pretty sure you can do that, I don't recommend it but you can do it.  I used to work in the mailroom at a university and packages would come with lots and lots of stamps and stuff on them so I can imagine you could do the same with letters.

I wouldn't do chain letters due to the fact they either want money from you or trying to get your information. plus you have to waste money on a stamp. For what? Don't do it! It is stupid.

Write the things that give you anxiety down on a piece of paper.  Put the paper in an envelope.  Mail it to yourself.  When you receive it read them and ask yourself, "Is this really worth wasting a good postage stamp?"

If your box is on the street, I believe he is supposed to check for outgoing mail every day, but taking it from a box on your house is a courtesy, not a requirement.  If the carrier has no mail to deliver to the box he is not obligated to pick up any outgoing mail, even if the flag is up (but most will).

If its automated, its a way of making sure your email is a 'live' addres (ie , you use it regularly) so they can track whether or not you've opened it and then add your address to a mailing list for advertising etc.

put it in the mailbox.....whoever gets it will just have to fork over the money for a stamp.

If your return address is on the envelope they (P.O.) may send it back to you for insufficient postage.  Sometimes, I hear, the amount of postage doesn't matter - the automated sorters are just looking for a legitimate stamp.  If someone physically handles the envelope, what happens depends on what that postal employee does with - send it back to you for an additional 6 cents or let it go - you will just have to wait and find out.  It may take a day or a week or more to come back to you, by the way.  Next time...............

It is a post office cancellation stamp from New York.  It might mean registry division?

Mo, it's tacky, especially in respect to the older generations.  Just pay the $0.39  for the stamp and keep your mom happy, okay?
