Will the post office deliver mail if the stamp is put on it so the

[rzemanfl]

flag is upside down? Gotta pay some bills and need to know.

[bigwillq]

1. Yeah.

I've put on stamps upside down before and as far as I know, they were delivered.

[Maddy McCall]

2. Of course.

They really don't care how you affix your stamp.

5. I mail all of them that way

7. Upside Down Stamps - Trivia

To some, stamps turned upside down is a symbol for "I love you." Back when letter-writing was still something people did, this was a common practice. My great-aunt always affixed her stamps upside down on letters to family members.

She affixed them crooked on mail to bill collectors, but I think that was just her little thing. :-)

8. Not a problem

Upside down, sideways, whatever. They don't like it if you put the stamp in the 'wrong' place on the envelope, because then they must cancel it by hand, but they will still carry your letter.

For a while we were having a lot of fun with the 'arctic wildlife' series of stamps, and the profile of George Washington ones. Placed so that Washington faced the wildlife stamp, and adding hand-written captions like, "George takes one last look at the caribou before the drilling begins,"

20. I've been using Paul Robeson ones myself

[Pastiche423]

9. Yep

I've been buying and using flag stamps for just that reason for almost five years now.

[Synnical]

10. I demand the flag stamp so I can do just that

Mail everything that way. Also put anti-bush stickers on the outside of my envelopes. One postal worker commented that he loved my stickers.

Do it - a little bit of activism can only help. And it's easy to do.
