Stuffing envelopes?

[Captin Howdy]

I was waiting by the bus stop to go to work and i saw a flyer about stuffing envelopes. Has anyone ever done this before?

Sounds a little fishy to me, they pay $2.00 each envelope

250 envelopes would be $500
500 envelope would be $1000!

This just a scam?

[Hard_Taco]

That could be a scam because there are machines that can stuff envelopes.

[spawnr]

Yes scam.

[ji2o0k]

Nope not a scam.......hand stuffed envelopes are worth more than machine stuffed envelopes.........sort of like handmade crafts vs. machine made crafts.

Give it a try, you will be surprised.


I am kidding, don't give it a try......SCAM.....

scam....i've looked into one of these and it is pure nonsense

[blainehamilton]

Yup, they usually pay you a small % of what they claim to make from your work. which is usually nothing...

Ask for payment as you stuff and they will hang up on you.

It's not worth it for $9/hr. Time passes by very slow too doing jobs like this.

A few years ago I worked as a data-wrangler for a small mail shop that did bulk mail and addressed admail.

If you're sending out more than 1000 pieces of mail, you can save HUGE amounts of postage by getting things sorted and organized. (the sort is actually rather complicated)

A letter house will do everything including the printing, stuffing, sorting and mailing. The savings in postage alone make it worth while.

At the place I worked, they had stuffing machines that could stuff hundreds of envelopes (including folding and collating) per minute. These machines were usually run by people making minimum wage.

What does that tell you about the validity of these schemes?
