Stuffing Envelopes
Information about stuffing envelopes with details of envelope stuffing jobs and a home business based on envelope addressing:
This article will describe stuffing envelopes for payment and discuss the pros and cons of envelope stuffing jobs.
Envelope Stuffing Work From Home
Envelope stuffing work from home was popular in the 1950s onwards before the invention of cheap and easy to buy computers and printers. In its time it may have been a good way to work from home to earn extra money. Though there has been reputable stuffing envelopes companies it has become a scam which takes advantage of home workers trying to earn an honest wage. Our advise would be to approach stuffing envelopes as a way of earning extra money with great caution or even better - stay well clear and instead do the methods of home working described on the links on the right and left of this page. These take you to other findextrawork pages with legitimate opportunities to make more money. However we will continue the stuffing envelopes article so that you have a greater understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of stuffing envelopes for payment so that you can make up your own mind.
Home Based Stuffing Envelope Business
A home based stuffing envelope business would seem an ideal type of work for someone at home such as a retired person, people with young children, someone with a disability or just people looking for extra cash. But the reality may be that such stuffing envelopes companies may ask you for an upfront payment, often in double and even treble figures, for a business pack. Most stuffing envelopes companies, though few are in fact registered at company house, are only interested in this registration fee and some may not even send you the starter pack or any more information. But will happily cash your cheque.
Others will let you into their "secret of success" which is to advertise for your own home based stuffing envelope business vacancies to get registration fees sent to you. This is where the scam and big cons come into play - you only make money by getting other unfortunates to do what you have just done. Sorry if this has happened to you, but please do not be tempted to do this yourself. You only compound this scam and like an evil chain letter you will be spreading doom and gloom to many a needy person. Please quit your loses, swallow your pride and accept you have been scammed.
If you are thinking of sending off a registration fee for a starter pack or more information - don't! Reputable filling envelopes companies will not charge you for further information about starting a home based stuffing envelope business.
Envelope Stuffing Jobs
If you do apply for envelope stuffing jobs you should read the small print very carefully and know what rates of pay you can expect. You should be able to know how much you will be paid per hundred envelope stuffed. The payments can be very low and there are often penalty clauses. Many dishonest envelope stuffing companies will penalise you for errors, incorrectly address of filled envelopes and even claim back money for things you think are not true. I am sad to say that I do not know of any reputable envelope stuffing jobs - far better to do the reputable work linked on the left and right of this website.
Work From Home Stuffing Envelopes
The other thing to consider with work from home stuffing envelopes opportunities is why would any company employ someone to stuff envelopes when a computer, printer and processing machine can print out individual pamphlets, letters, brochures, etc fold them into an envelope, seal it and label the envelope. Such machines can even postage frank the envelopes and drop them into a sack. All the company have to do is pick up the sack and drop it off at their nearest Post Office or have a courier service collect them.
If the company did choose to pay you to work from home stuffing envelopes they would have to box up leaflets, letters, etc and deliver them to you with boxes of labels, envelopes and stamps. This increases their costs even before they pay you to stuff their envelopes. In the 21st Century few companies will entrust their data with a third party and indeed will not want the further expense of registering a home worker under the data protection act. Even fewer companies will want to pay someone when a machine can do it quicker and cheaper.
Envelope Addressing
A similar work from home opportunity was envelope addressing. Before the invention of computers that could perform various scripts and fonts companies would pay people to hand write envelopes with addresses. Envelope addressing work is very rare now because it can easily and quickly be done by PCs.
