It's just a much more clean look. Although... not all post offices do it. You must inquire in advance, find out if you need to do the stamping or if they do.. and if you need to show up right as the post office opens- there are more rules.But I totally think its worth it.
I am soooo glad to see you write about this! My mom is a calligrapher, and it makes her so sad to see her clients' envelopes chewed up by the postage machines after she's worked hard and they've paid a pretty penny to make them look beautiful!
