[Dx-qsl] Envelope problem

[Tom Anderson]

Nenad:

I also use the #9s domestically and have used them a couple times for DX 
returns, but Office Depot and Office Max usually charge a premium for 
the #9s.  You can get inexpensive #10s for about $5 for 500, but they 
charge $10-$15 for a 500 envelope box of #9s.  Also the #9s aren't 
always on the shelf.  I bought my last box when Office Depot had a big 
sale on all its envelopes.

The #9s are nice because I can run them through my HP printer in the 
print envelope slot with MS Word and put my home QTH on them.  Usually 
for the European airmail nesting envelopes I print out a label for the 
manager envelope and use a large rubber stamp with my address on the 
return, since they don't fit the envelope slot on my printer.  Sometimes 
though I get industrious and just print up a batch of USPS barcoded 
return labels and just put USA under the US city,state, ZIP for the 
nested return envelope.  Not sure if the barcode really helps that much 
or not, from what local postal empoloyees have told me.

The USPS has suggestions for addressing international mail at
