UT Houston Mail Tips

	Use postcards for short messages or announcements; it is one-third less expensive than sending an envelope.
	Use green diamond boarded envelopes for first class mail.
	Combine mailings to the same location into one large envelope.
	Use priority mail rather than express when two day delivery is acceptable
	Fold multi-page material and send it in a #10 envelope to save the extra weight and postage of a large flat.
	Use "Certified" instead of "Registered" mail whenever possible as it costs less and still provides a receipt and notice  of delivery.
	Do not over insure; the post office will only pay the actual value of an item, not the declared value.
