Blackstone Labs

Ok, simple question...

So I'm about to mail my first sample into Blackstone. The label on the black bottle says "No Postage Necessary if Mailed in the US". So I assume it's pre-paid but next to it it shows Postage Computed by Delivery Unit: Total Postage and Fees Due $____

So, can I just drop this off at any mail pickup location and be good or do I need to physically go to the Post Office (assuming I do need to pay postage?)

I see it is being mailed to a Postage Due Unit (different address than Blackstone) with a return label addressed for Blackstone Labs.

First sample mailing for me, so a little confused by the postage label on the black bottle. Figured someone here that has done this recently can answer this question for me.

Thanks.

Strange. I've always paid the postage when sending my samples in to Blackstone. I think it's around $2.25.

Yeah, strange. I asked the PO and they said it should be good to just send as is...but for personal peace of mind, I paid postage ($2.65) just to be on the safe side.

I really need to get a sample kit to get a baseline sample of my PBX CJ-4 prior to shifting to CK-4. While I typically wait until the OLM tells me to change, I may change my first CK-4 out, or at least grab a sample between 3-5K.

Well, well, well. I just today read in the Blackstone Labs newsletter that their sample bottles are now coming postage pre-paid!!

Here is a link to the July 2017 newsletter: https://www.blackstone-labs.com/News...uly-1-2017.php

That is certainly good news. I've had to take the Blackstone letter to the PO before for them to accept it.

I used the automated postage dispenser. What's in it? No, nothing dangerous.
