Going Postal?

I had a friend tell me that he gets three different answers and can't make sense of the new regulations. Now you can't send an envelope with a clasp, because it's non-machinable.

We thought it might be the metal or the flex, but the answer from USPS is, "It might get caught on machinery." Which brings up the question, "If there's tape over it, that prevents it from getting caught, is it then machinable again?

What happened with the non-machinable jet packs, that people were getting charged postage due, because they were NOT non-machinable. (It reminds me of paying extra for low salt foods, because they don't add something extra and paying a premium for that?)

If I mail out a chip in a kraft paper mailer or jet pack, am I going to have to take each one of those little buggers to the USPS station and have them all slapped with a label? Or am I going to risk having them stuck with some ridiculous fee and upset the buyer and myself in the process?

What's the final answer. One OZ plus the fee was the old way, then add the per ounce charges if it was heavier. Now I don't have a clue.

Thanks DON! That helped...
Seems like the post office is wildly guessing
