- 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

Excellent concise and clear video! Thanks a lot for your presentation.
Wow good thing I watched this. Almost shipped an item thicker than intended. Thanks
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
Thanks❤! This saved me so much time!
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.
Thank you for the video it was very helpful and informative !
Thanks so much for this explanation and help
Thank you!
Thank you.
I get lucky they accept mine with one stamp 😱
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.
What about 6cent stamps? Where/how do those come into play?
I had a 1.1oz letter returned with 2 forever stamps. 😒
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.
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
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.
@@HelpingHermit picky or maybe you mean better thief’s
@@HelpingHermit if you use forever stamp they don’t have to reject your package
@@Aesth32 they do because it doesn't align with their dimentions.
@@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.
Does distance matter?
no not for stamps
Can i stack 2 on top each other
2 stamps on top of each other?
@@RabidRabbitHead yes
@@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.
I made it 9 years of putting stamps on top of each other, without u telling me how to do it correctly
