They don't...Oh, I didn't mean to worry you! They don't enforce that rule regularly in Germany, just sometimes if you are unlucky - I just never hand the red envelopes in to the postal workers but always put them in the mailbox so that I don't have a problem :)<br /><br />I don't know if they have the same rule in Finland though - in Germany it's because the orange bar code which they print at the bottom of the letter is not machine-readable if the letter is a dark colour - so red, a dark orange, some blues, black etc. - and they have to sort it by hand. So they say that it's more work for them and therefore it's more expensive. Like I said, they rarely enforce it, but it's among the same rules like the ones where they say that one side of a letter / postcard has to be at least 1,4 x the length of the other side or the minimum sizes - and I've had letters given back to me due to 0,5 cms of not meeting these restrictions :(Caddihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02023813911383989084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730284892418965319.post-28084068625752387852014-07-24T07:35:24.811+02:002014-07-24T07:35:24.811+02:00Red envelopes would cost extra?!
