<p>I’ve gotten two big mailings from Colgate before, one was in a regular white envelope, the other was in a cardboard USPS international mailing one. First one wasn’t very thick and with a picture of Colgate next to the address label. The one from usps was about half an inch thick. I know, I am completely crazy for being detailed, but I’m not a fan of surprises…</p>
