Mailed letter is just over an ounce

A common conundrum!

If your mailed letter is just over an ounce, you have a few options to consider:

  1. Add a stamp: You can purchase additional postage stamps to cover the excess weight. You can buy stamps at a post office or online from the USPS website.
  2. Use a larger envelope: If the letter is just a little over an ounce, you might be able to fit it into a larger envelope that weighs less than an ounce. This could save you from having to buy additional postage.
  3. Consider a flat rate envelope: If you're sending a letter that's consistently just over an ounce, you might want to consider using a flat rate envelope. These envelopes have a fixed price regardless of weight, and they're often a good value if you're sending similar-sized items frequently.
  4. Weigh it again: Double-check the weight of your letter to make sure it's really just over an ounce. Sometimes, the scale at the post office can be a bit off, so it's worth double-checking.

Remember, the USPS has a scale at most post offices where you can weigh your package and get an accurate reading. If you're unsure about the weight of your letter, you can always stop by a post office and ask for their assistance.
