Anyone heard of the story from the Chofetz Chaim about a stamp? He had written a letter to mail. Then he found someone going directly to the destination and sent it by hand. He then tore up a stamp, saying that because he found an alternative, that shouldn’t deprive the government of the money they’re entitled to. Question would be the exact cheshbon and is that because of postal monopolies. Also is that halacha l’maaseh, or just a chumra/tzidkus/lifnim mishuras hadin hanhaga that the Chofetz Chaim did himself.
