[blindkid] Free Matter for the Blind Question

[empwrn at bellsouth.net]

Hey guys,

I am still sitting outside the post office feeling quite annoyed. I am here to return some items borrowed from our "local" school for the blind. We are homeschoolers and order materials through them with federal quota funds. I had one box that came from the school that was already marked "free matter for the blind". The other box was not marked but had a "priority mail" sticker on the left side with $0 sticker in the upper right corner where you'd usually find the postage paid. One of the postal employees tried to tell me that I'd have to pay to ship that one back. Fortunately, an apparently more knowledgeable employee walked up at just the right moment and said, "No, there is no charge. It's free matter for the blind." 

What do you do when you are mailing items? Where can I get a stamp so I don't run into this again?
