Mail an envelope
To mail an envelope, you'll need to follow these steps:
- Address the envelope: Write the recipient's name and address on the envelope. Make sure to include the correct postal code and any necessary apartment or suite numbers.
- Affix the correct postage: Determine the correct postage rate for the weight and size of your envelope. You can use a postage scale or consult a postage rate chart. Attach the postage to the upper right corner of the envelope.
- Add any additional postage: If you're sending a large or heavy envelope, you may need to add additional postage. You can use a postage stamp or a postage meter.
- Seal the envelope: Fold the envelope shut and seal it with glue, tape, or a sticker.
- Hand it over: Take the envelope to a mailbox or a post office and hand it over to the postal carrier or a postal worker.
- Track your package (optional): If you want to track your envelope, you can use a tracking number or a shipping label.
