My question is, what is the best way to estimate the postage? I usually weigh the sending envelope with contents (usually just under 2 oz.) and then again without the inner envelope and use that for the SASE weight (in this case it was 1 oz.). All I had inside were a couple pictures and a lightweight card backing. Using the USPS website calculator, it should be between $0.49-0.70 for 1 ounce., $0.70-0.91 for 2 oz., $0.91-1.12 for 3 oz (depending on whether you check "contains a rigid object.")
So I'm confused where they pulled $1.83 from, that seems a little exorbitant for a letter size envelope.

This is the first time this has happened, and I have got many more successes using this same technique. Although now I'm wondering if this is why I've been having so few lately??
