How many stickers to mail a letter

The number of stickers needed to mail a letter depends on the weight and size of the letter, as well as the destination and type of mail service used. Here are some general guidelines:

• For a standard letter weighing up to 1 ounce (28 grams), you typically need:
  • 1 first-class stamp (currently $0.55) for domestic mail within the United States
  • 1 international first-class stamp (currently $1.20) for mail sent to Canada, Mexico, and other countries
• For a letter weighing more than 1 ounce (28 grams), you may need additional postage. You can use:
  • Additional first-class stamps (currently $0.20 each) for each additional ounce
  • Priority Mail stamps (currently $3.50 for a 1-ounce letter) for faster and more reliable delivery
• For larger or heavier letters, you may need to use a flat rate envelope or a package, which requires a different type of postage.

Here are some examples of how many stickers you might need for a letter:

• A standard letter to a friend in the same city: 1 first-class stamp
• A letter to a friend in another state: 1 first-class stamp
• A letter to a friend in Canada: 1 international first-class stamp
• A letter to a friend in Europe: 2 international first-class stamps (or 1 international priority mail stamp)
• A letter with a large or heavy envelope: 2-3 first-class stamps (or 1 priority mail stamp)

Keep in mind that these are general guidelines, and the actual postage required may vary depending on the specific circumstances of your mail. It's always a good idea to check with your local post office or the USPS website for the most up-to-date information on postage rates and requirements.
