  • What is the maximum amount of weight per ounce and dimensions (Length X Height X Width) per US postage stamp? And what is the cost per additional ounce you add to a letter or card. One US Forever Stamp will allow a maximum of 1 ounce in weight and an additional .24 cents per extra ounce up to 3.5 ounces. To be eligible for mailing at the price for letters, a piece must be: Rectangular. The dimensions must be at least 3-1/2 inches high x 5 inches long x 0.007 inch thick. No more than 6-1/8 inches high x 11-1/2 inches long x 1/4 inch thick. #usps #postoffice

    Thank you. I knew nothing about this. I'm sending something a little over an ounce. I know it's cheaper to go to the post office and get the correct stamp but for convenience I'll just throw 2 stamps on there

    Maximum weight only using stamps is 3.5 ounces. If the weight goes higher than you will have to ship first class letter with tracking. The stamp machines cant handle a heavier weight than 3.5 ounces.

    I’m wondering why they are selling 3¢ stamps then? Won’t you need several stamps then to meat the required cost? It seems like a waste.

    if my envelope weighs 2.7 oz two forever stamps is enough to cover postage?
    also, if another envelope weighs 3.0 oz do i need 3 forever stamps or 2?
    sorry for all the questions, stamps just confuse me. i only have forever stamps and not the other .24 stamps.

    • @HelpingHermit
      @HelpingHermit  Před rokem

      you are good with 2 stamps. Its one forever stamp for the first ounce then 20 cents each additional ounce up to like 4. So 2 stamps would cover you up to 3 ounces as long as its less then a quarter inch thick

  • @bibletruthholinesschurch

    If I have a large envelope and I put one stamp on it would they be able to still ship it?

    Is better with the stamp is cheaper than pay 5 us for that small package

      the problem is USPS is very picky. So if it is even over a hair over a quarter inch thick they will reject it, send it back to you, and make you may First Class shipping rate. This very package in this video I attempted to ship with stamps and they sent it back rejected.

      ​@@HelpingHermitUse a non machinable stamp. I just shipped my friend a shirt pin, candy, and other small items in a #10 envelope that came out to be 3/4th inch thick, rigid, and over 1 ounce but not more than 2. I put one butterfly stamp and one forever stamp and it made it to my friend with no issues.

      @@suiomk I'm not trying to be rude, but nobody at the post office would be looking for a stamp on top of another stamp even if you put a non-machinable stamp... they would still only see the one stamp. If you don't put a non machinable stamp they send it through machines that have high speed cameras to take a picture of the mail and detect the stamps/address so the machine would only see the one stamp. Just put any extra to the left of the other stamps and make sure they're not directly beside each other or overlapping.
