I get sooooooooooo much junk mail that I'm trying to use some of the return envelopes that come inside them. I know I have to black out the bar code that runs along the bottom edge of the envelope, but what about the column of horizontal bars that sometimes is under where the stamp goes? There's also sometimes a few vertical lines near the center of the top edge of the envelope. Do all of these lines need to be blacked out or covered up, or just the one along the lower edge? I don't want my mail to get returned or worse, end up in snail mail la la land.

Thanks in advance,
Karen aka Tweetie

-{-<@ Have we traded? @>-}- ~Please~ leave feedback at this link:

TY!

~Please include RS username in emails. If you do not have a username, I WILL NOT trade with you. Tired of lurkers taking advantage of people, if you really want to trade, you will sign up at RS with a username!~

~If we have not traded before and you have no feedback or 5 or less feedback you will need to send your end first. Sorry but this is my new rule. TY~

~I am now giving 36 hours from the time I email someone about a trade. I am losing too many trades waiting 3 or 4 days, and then they decide no, or dont let me know at all. Sorry, but I can't wait longer than 36 hours, I believe that is more than fair~

~~Thank you everyone for all the wonderful trades~~
~~ You are the BEST!! ~~

Thanks for sharing all of the good ideas, but does anyone know what parts should be blacked out?

Have a nice weekend,

8 . "For the envelopes which require a stamp...."

I simply run a black marker over the bar code along the envie bottom, and a mailing label over any address on the envie. The bar codes where the stamps go are worthless and will not affect your mailing.

Now, as for all the unwanted junk mail that has "postage-paid return envelopes"....I simply fold up all the items it came with, along with the original envelope, and send it back to the owner! Ha! Make them pay for the return of their own junk mail.
