Right, glueing it closed will make it look brand new (putting something heavy on top while it dries helps, too). And if there are any questions as to whether the post office will accept it for free return mailing, dropping it in the mail slot or box at the post office instead of taking it up to the counter takes away their ability to say "no". Of course, they could return it to you, but I've never had it happen. Note that I only do this when I'm returning items, I do not recommend it as a way of avoiding telling the merchant that you don't want them to send it in the first place. Bill
