How much does it cost to mail a large postcard
The cost to mail a large postcard depends on the size, weight, and destination of the postcard. Here are the current rates for mailing a large postcard in the United States:
Domestic Mailing
- Large envelope (up to 13 oz): $3.50 (First-Class Mail)
- Large envelope (over 13 oz): $4.50 (First-Class Mail)
International Mailing
- Large envelope (up to 1 oz): $1.20 (First-Class Mail International)
- Large envelope (over 1 oz): $2.20 (First-Class Mail International)
Note: These rates are subject to change, so it's always best to check the official USPS website or consult with your local post office for the most up-to-date information.
Additionally, if your large postcard is oversized or irregularly shaped, you may need to use a larger envelope or a specialty mailer, which could increase the cost.
Here are some tips to help you save money when mailing large postcards:
- Use a sturdy, lightweight envelope to reduce weight and cost.
- Consider using a postcard with a standard size (up to 6.125 inches x 11.5 inches) to avoid oversized rates.
- Use a clear plastic envelope or a mailer with a clear plastic window to reduce weight and make it easier to read the address.
- Use a First-Class Mail International rate for international mailings, which is often cheaper than Priority Mail International.
Remember to always check the USPS website or consult with your local post office for the most up-to-date rates and guidelines for mailing large postcards.
