Dave M. said on 05/26/05 @ 10:40 AM: I've done something similar. I get these packets of postcards with offers on them. I simply put those postcards in the mail. They all get sent back to the companies that sent them to me in the first place, all having to pay the postage. Couldn't be easier. There are usually about 50 postcards in a pack.
The above is a great idea, except I don't think I would destroy the envelope. Simply put some stuff in it so that it weights more than standard postage, and put the envelope back in the mail. Great idea! I'm definatly going to start doing that too.
