There would be another advantage of using the fixed rate priority envelope.
I assume that if you get one of these from the post office, and $3.20 in
stamps, you can just drop it in the mailbox. This someone with limited
access to a post office can just get the mailing stuff in advance, and then
just has to go by a mailbox within the time limit.
Of course another issue for someone like Larry who travels alot is that if
the box arrives the day they leave on a several day trip, there is an
automatic dead time while they're away.
I think exceptions would be reasonable, perhaps modified with a "Since
you're delaying things a bit, take that into account when you decide what to
put in, and maybe put in something a little extra." The other thing would be
to insert someone like Larry between people who can promise a quick
turnaround, and perhaps even live close enough to Larry that transit time
to/from him would only be 2-3 days instead of 3-4. I would suspect that if
everyone were conscientious, that the average time would end up slightly
less than a week between stops, even with a bunch of folk like Larry. Mail
often only takes a couple days transit, and most people will probably be
able to mail the package along the day after they receive it.
