Mailing Cost

by MrRNewman » Mon Mar 14, 2005 5:01 am

I send out plenty of mailers...most mailers and Flats (Large size envelopes (9x13) COST 60 CENTS TO MAIL IN THE USA
(Place at least the same for the return mailing SASE- unless instructed otherwise...
..the post office does sell 60cent stamps which makes it easier...
But as the others here have suggested...take your first one to the post office and ask them to weigh and tell you the cost for 1st class mail..cost is by weight and not zip code....if all of your envelopes/photo mailers are the same size and weight...then you may continue to put the same amount on each mailer...this applies for all Large size letters and Photo Mailers...dont forget to put proper return postage...many people lose out on a signed photo because they get cheap on the return postage....

Hope this helps....

:D They'll put on the right ammount of stamps and stuff once it's weighed.

Can anyone help with my original question?

thats the theory, but not these days. royal mail have even admitted they can no longer guarantee the next day delivery for 9p more on a 1st class stamo and even they suggest using 2nd class which generall takes 2 days without fail. As from next year the monopoly is lifted and rival companies cans et up to offer mail delivery services. that shuld be interesting.

I think that one second class stamp will cover the same weight as a first class one, but it won't get there as quickly.

2nd Class - Within 3 working days
1st Class - Next working day

Within the UK Ive never had trouble sending an A4 envelope with two A4 Pics inside with letter and A4 return envelope with a 2nd class stamp.

You can go into the post office and say to them that you want to send your letter first class but to weigh it first. I sent a letter once with a letter and a C.d cover but it was still fine to send one first class stamp.

Very cool thanks a lot that will come in handy in the future. I always assumed 1 first class stamp covered basically a letter so when sending things like cd covers i'd use 3 stamps to be safe lol, i'm so innocent and naiive haha!

Having just tried it now, i'd say that an A5 photo, a SAE and a letter weighs around 40g (give or take a few as its on a very cheap set of kitchen scales). Based on that i'd say you could probably get away with 2, maybe 3 photos, along with the rest, using a first class stamp.

But, theres this little weighing device which I got a while back which would be useful for this kind of thing. The website says its out of stock, but i'll post the link anyway and you can maybe get one at some point when they get some in stock. Its free, which is cool.
