Re: Quick stupid question
Sometimes you can get away with using different dates. Sometimes not. Sometimes the USPS will refuse packages that have a different ZIP CODE on them than the ZIP code of the post office you are dropping off at. Sometimes not. It all depends on if you get on their radar or not.
One member got called out for using different return addresses on his packages and they made a big deal out of it. But hundreds of people do this all day long and get away with it.
The bottom line is, the USPS has many, many rules and everyone most likely violates some of them, even unintentionally. Whether or not you can do it depends on if the people at your local post office are jerks or not. But it pays to be careful, because you do not want to get on their radar.
And WHATEVER you do NEVER underpay your postage based on the weight. It is TEMPTING, especially when a 6.1 ounce package has to rounded up to 7 ounces, but if you ever get caught doing it they will be watching you 24/7.
