I can't believe I've been misspelling the species name through all of this. Oh, the shame! Properly it is Byblis liniflora. But then you all knew that and were too kind to correct me.

If it is not machine sortable (too thick) it costs extra... They will either give you a bill (to the receiver) or return to sender for the missing postage.

[Not a Number]

Basically if a standard size envelope is over 1/4" thick it is non-machinable or considered a parcel. Parcel status is based on size, shape and weight.

One vendor puts a piece of candy in the envelope along with the seeds so it becomes non-machinable and will not be crushed in the sorting machines (see d. below).

Note (g.) would be a simple method to send standard size envelopes as non-machinable. You'd still have to pay the $0.20 surcharge though.

1.2 Nonmachinable Criteria

A letter-size piece is nonmachinable (see 6.4) if it has one or more of the following characteristics (see 601.1.4 to determine the length, height, top, and bottom of a mailpiece):

a. Has an aspect ratio (length divided by height) of less than 1.3 or more than 2.5.

b. Is polybagged, polywrapped, enclosed in any plastic material, or has an exterior surface made of a material that is not paper. Windows in envelopes made of paper do not make mailpieces nonmachinable. Attachments allowable under applicable eligibility standards do not make mailpieces nonmachinable.

c. Has clasps, strings, buttons, or similar closure devices.

d. Contains items such as pens, pencils, keys, or coins that cause the thickness of the mailpiece to be uneven; or loose keys or coins or similar objects not affixed to the contents within the mailpiece. Loose items may cause a letter to be nonmailable when mailed in paper envelopes; (see 601.2.3, Odd-Shaped Items in Paper Envelopes).

e. Is too rigid (does not bend easily when subjected to a transport belt tension of 40 pounds around an 11-inch diameter turn).
f. For pieces more than 4-1/4 inches high or 6 inches long, the thickness is less than 0.009 inch.

g. Has a delivery address parallel to the shorter dimension of the mailpiece.

h. Is a self-mailer that is not prepared according to 201.3.14.

i. Is a booklet that is not prepared according to 201.3.15.
