[Blindtlk] Has anyone ever had this happen?

I downloaded the KJV of the Bible onto a cartridge for the NLS machine, for 
my friend, Ann.  I also bought a mailer, which has "FREE MATTER FOR THE 
BLIND AND PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED" printed right on it.  We put it in the 
mail, yesterday, and it was returned today.  I looked at the sticker, which 
was over Ann's address, and found it said it was returned for $2.07 postage. 
Jerry took the mailer and sticker over to the post office, along with a 
mailer from an NLS book, to show them that it can go free.  I guess they 
have some new people at the post office, now.  The lady there said she 
understood that it was only material being sent from a company or 
organization to a blind person, which could be sent free.  She didn't 
believe that a blind person could do it.  Jerry insisted that we could.  She 
called someone else, to confirm, and the other person, (whoever it was), is 
as clueless as she is.  She did take the mailer, though and said she would 
send it.  So, I found, online, a list of frequently asked questions about 
Free Matter mailings, which I've printed.  I'll take it over to the post 
office, on Monday and give it to her.  It's not the actual law, but it 
references the law in the material.

Has anyone ever had this happen?
