  • Please include address if you want us to mail it to you.

    We have an online form that people can use to request copies from us. The form is like any other form that have questions that are important. For example, your name. Your address. Your email address.

    This woman only provided her name and email address. She wanted an obit, which we found.

    The answer to her request included this:

    If you would like a scanned photocopy, please send a check or money order for $3.00, payable to the “Blah Public Library Foundation”, to the following address:



    Blah Public Library
    Document Delivery, Attn: Photocopies
    Suite 455 (4th Floor Jones Bldg.)
    xxxxx Smith st.
    Gerr, TX 77002

    If you would like to pay by credit card, please call 832-393-1313. Tell the staff person answering the phone that you would like to pay for a “Document Delivery” request. We will need your credit card number and its expiration date.

    Please note that all requests are stored electronically and will be sent via email. If you want to have your paper photocopies mailed to you, please let us know.


    We will send your copy as soon as we receive payment.

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    The woman then emails us: Thank you. I will put a check in the mail tomorrow. I would like to have paper photocopies mailed to me. Does that cost more?

    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXx

    our response:
    We will mail you paper copies. No, this does not cost any more.

    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX

    I was hoping the woman didn't misunderstand and think we no longer charge for paper copies.

    She sends check, and I throw away the envelope and put the check in the bag. She printed out the original request (without mentioning that she wanted it mailed to her). By accident I find the email asking for us to mail it to her. Then I realize she never provided the mailing address. Luckily the check wasn't processed so I go teh address from that (if she was using checks with an old address, though titty).

    Couldn't she have bothered to remind us to mail the copy to her, and provided her address in the "letter" (printout)? Though who knows, she might have been snarky if she did remind us in a letter.

    I don't suppose her address might've been on the envelope?

    Here's hoping it was just a brain burp on her end

      I didn't look at the envelope; besides, I threw it away (actually, shredded it) when I took the check out.

      I just don't know why she didn't put her address on the form in the first place; did she think we were going to sell her address? If she was so worried about her address being in the wrong hands, why ask us to mail it to her?

        I don't get why people think that sending random checks in to companies is any sort of good idea.

        The place I work for does eBay sales, and we still get random checks or money orders in the mail with nothing for backup.

        Hell, I have a payment for an invoice sitting on my desk right now that matches nothing we have in the system, and this is from another business. >_<

          At least you had some way to find it.

          I remember reading a book written by some of the letter-writers for Star Trek TOS. They had one child who wrote in and asked for an autographed photo... only he never included a return address, even on the envelope. Then the Mom wrote in berating them for not sending her child the photo. Still no return address.

          The staff even used the post mark to try locating the kid & mother by name and city... no luck.


          but yeah... i always thought you're suppose to include the return address inside a letter if you want something sent to you... because the envelope doesn't always stay with the letter.
