A little know-how avoids cards coming back for extra postage.

Good to know

  • Check current postage rates with the U.S. Postal Service; they change
  • Square, rigid or lumpy envelopes usually need extra postage
  • Heavier cards with inserts may need more than one stamp
  • Send international mail early, and check the international rate
  • A Forever stamp stays valid for First-Class letter postage even after prices rise
