I am guessing you want to mail a letter to some foreign location from the US. If so, the rate is now 98 cents. You can buy a 98-cent stamp at a post office. If all you have is "forever" stamps with the liberty bell on them , you would have to use three and overpay since they are worth 44 cents each .
(10-cents stamps are also available at the post office and two 44-cent stamps plus a 10 give the exact amount. )
No. Postage to Ireland from the US is 98 cents, but only 44 cents for domestic letters.
yes, you can-- they are worth 42 cents each and the rate to Europe is 94 cents for up to one ounce. So you would two of them plus ten cents (or more )worth of other stamps.You use three forever stamps, but would be wasting 32 cents.After May 11, the rate goes up to 98 cents, but the forever stamps will be worth 44 cents, so 2 of them plus ten cents will still work. They make 10 cent stamps, so if you send a lot of letters to Europe you might want to get some to keep on hand.Despite the note below, you can. MY information comes from the UPSS official web site;http://www.usps.com/mailpro/2008/marapril/page8.htmPossibly the rules have changed.No, you cannot. The lack of a face value means they are not valid under the Postal Rules of the Universal Postal Union. The post office can provide valid postage for your foreign mail.
Sure- he can make such requests, but the postal service is not required to grant them.
A (1) ounce letter is $0.44 cents. (2) ounce letter $0.61 cents. (3) ounce letter $0.78 cents. (3.5) ounce letter $0.95 cents. I would personally put (2) $0.44 cent stamps just to make sure, or take it to the post office to weigh it.
The rate for first class postage at that time went up to 32 cents. It was raised one cent from 29 cents. So the G would have a face value of 32 cents.
Stamps have gone up to offset the costs of inflation. It is also a means to try and make up some of the debt the Postal Service has incurred, currently at over $15 billion.
Currently in the US up to one ounce is 45 cents. So however many stamps it takes to make that amount.
Yes, but that would be foolish. Buy some one-cent stamps to make up the 42 cent postage and save those 41 cent stamps.
The previous rate was 29 cents and the new rate was 32. The make up stamp has a face value of 3 cents.
Sure, no problem!
The G rate stamps were issued in 1995 when postage went from 29 cents to 32 cents. Yes, it can still be used for 3 cents of postage.
The US Post Office has a website where you can create and your own personalized stamps. At their website there is a service called Zazzle custom stamps, where you can customize the size, denominations, and choose from a variety of images in their collections to create onto the stamp.
