There are other factors to take into consideration when determining the cost of mailing, such as, dimensions of the envelope. The best place to check is the US Postal Service website to be sure to get the correct number of stamps for your envelope.

How many ounces is two first class stamps worth?

The postage rate varies for each country. In the US, the rate for a second ounce is much less then for the first. You could expect to mail at least 3 ounces for two First Class stamps.


Can I use stamps purchased before the price increases on 6th April and use them after the price increase?

Yes you can. Stamps with fixed values on them (such as 1p, 5p, etc.) will still be worth the same amount after the increase. However, stamps that say 1st, 1st Large, 2nd etc. will automatically increase in value when the price changes - so a 1st stamp now will still be valid for 1st after the change. It's therefore well worth stocking up on these stamps before the price increases, especially as this is probably the largest single price increase the Royal Mail has ever inflicted on its loyal customers. The "1st Large" stamp, in particular, is set to go up in price by nearly 20%. Remember that you can use these stamps as part payment on items requiring a higher amount of postage. For example, 2 "1st" stamps are worth 72p (78p after the increase), 3 "1st Large" stamps are worth £1.56 (£1.83 after the increase).


What is the E class stamp rate?

In Great Britain, an "E" stamp covers max. 20 gram air mail letter's postage to European destinations. Just like "1st" stamps are always worth the 1st class letter rate inside the UK, "E" stamps are always up-to-date without having to check the present tariff.


What Is First Class Postage?

When you have something that needs to get to another person quickly, you use the postal service to do the job. While an email may be faster, it is hard to send a Christmas present through an email. The technology to print three dimensional items is not yet available. Therefore, the postal service is still the way to go.Get It There With First Class PostageSending something by first class postage means that it will get there within a couple of days. If you want, you can always pay a little bit more to ensure that it gets there overnight or even the same day. Most envelopes that you drop off at the post office will automatically be given the first class mail designation. There is nothing further that you have to do.How Much Does It Cost?A first class stamp will cost somewhere between 44 and 46 cents depending on what type of stamp you are using. Some people are using forever stamps which stay the same price regardless of the price a stamp costs when the postage is sent. Buying these forever stamps can be a great way to save money if you have to mail a lot of items. Recently, the cost of stamps has gone up in small increments every few years.Do I Know If The Mail Was Delivered?Unless you have postage sent as a certified letter, you will never know if the recipient ever got your letter. However, most letters that you send to people using first class postage will reach their destination. It is recommended that you never ship money through the mail. That can easily be stolen before it reaches its destination.First class postage allows you to send mail quickly regardless of where it is going. When an email simply won't do the job, the postal service will allow you to get something to your boss, friend or relative as soon as possible.
