Can i use forever stamps to mail a small package
In general, Forever Stamps are designed for mailing a standard letter weighing up to 1 ounce. If you need to mail a small package, you'll likely need to use a different type of postage.
Here are some guidelines to help you determine if you can use Forever Stamps for a small package:
- Weight: Forever Stamps are only valid for packages weighing up to 1 ounce. If your package weighs more than 1 ounce, you'll need to use additional postage or a different type of stamp.
- Size: Forever Stamps are designed for standard letter-sized envelopes (up to 11.5 inches long, 6.125 inches high, and 0.25 inches thick). If your package is larger than this, you'll need to use a different type of stamp or calculate the postage based on the package's dimensions.
- Shape: Forever Stamps are only valid for rectangular-shaped packages. If your package has an unusual shape (e.g., a box, tube, or irregular shape), you may need to use a different type of stamp or calculate the postage based on the package's dimensions.
If your small package meets these criteria, you can use Forever Stamps to mail it. However, if your package exceeds these limits, you'll need to use additional postage or a different type of stamp.
Here are some options for mailing small packages:
- Priority Mail: If your package weighs more than 1 ounce or has unusual dimensions, you can use Priority Mail postage. This service offers a flat rate for packages up to 70 pounds.
- First-Class Package Service: This service is designed for packages weighing up to 70 pounds and offers a flat rate for packages up to 13 ounces.
- Regional Rate Boxes: If your package weighs less than 70 pounds, you can use Regional Rate Boxes, which offer a flat rate for packages up to 70 pounds.
Remember to always check the USPS website or consult with a postal worker to determine the correct postage and service for your specific package.
