I tried that, but because the padded envelope would not fit through the slot, Australia Post refused to post it at letter rates, and told me that it had to be posted as a small parcel < 500g for $7.20. Does your P.O. not use the magical cardboard with slot measuring device to sort out letters from non-letters/parcels?? I wish I had an eBay seller friendly P.O. near me!!
Then perhaps don't use the 'puffy' padded envelopes. You can get flat cardboard mailers that should do the trick. Or pack the item between some cardboard and pop in a normal envelope, reinforcing it with some sticky tape if needed. You are not limited to AP's padded bags.
