Step 1: Prepare the Envelope

• Make sure the envelope is addressed correctly with the recipient's name and address.

Step 2: Determine the Mailing Cost

• Check the USPS website or consult a postal scale to determine the cost of mailing a 6x9 envelope.

Step 5: Mail the Envelope

• Take the envelope to a USPS mailbox or post office.
• Hand the envelope to a postal worker or deposit it in a mailbox.
• Keep a record of the mailing, including the tracking number (if applicable).
