Question about Mailing passports out to Buffalo

[Max Power]

Hi all

We got a request for passports from Buffalo. The consulate sent us a grey envelope to mail the passports out.

I want to include an prepaid express mail envelope along with the passports - The grey envelope seems too small to accomodate the USPS express mail envelope.

Any suggestions ? I really don't want to send the "soft" USPS cover. I would prefer to send the one made from cardboard.

One option is putting the grey envelope in a bigger one along with the prepaid USPS envelope - but can I do that ?

Thanks

Max Power,

I have mailed the canadian embassy, my passports, four times now. All the time, I used the "soft" express mail envelope for sending with "flat-rate for return". since we got tracking for both directions, it is pretty safe. i never had a problem so far.
