Cost to mail something
The cost to mail something depends on several factors, including:
- Weight: The heavier the item, the more it costs to mail.
- Size: Larger items require more postage.
- Distance: Mail sent farther distances costs more.
- Service: The type of mail service you choose affects the cost. For example, Priority Mail is generally more expensive than First-Class Mail.
