I went to the post office today, and it costed $1.51. So 4 forever stamps would do it!

Forever stamps are worth 0.42 EACH, so if you have 4 on the package that's 1.68. That should cover up to 4 or 5 ounces in a 9X12 envelope.

Thank you for your big help! :D I have another question, if you use 4 forever stamps and the fan mail weighs more than an ounce will it still send? I read on USPS that it had to be under an ounce. Thanks Again {thumb2} !

[quote="Limp2"]I calculated it on USPS, and got $1.00 for postage. I think I will do 4 forever stamps to be safe. By the way, if you put too much postage on, will that effect when the mail arrives to the destination? Thanks again for your help![/quote]
It shouldn't affect it, it just costs you more that you didn't need to pay.

I am guessing at weights off the top of my head but I'm thinking that would be at least 3 ounces, which is 1.17 in stamps.

But it might be closer to 4 ounces= 1.34

Hope this helped. {up}

The photos are 8.5x11 and the card board is just stiff paper. The envelope is 9x12.

What size are the photos and sase?

If it is smaller than 6X9, two stamps should be fine (also depending on how much the cardboard weighs).

If it is bigger than that, it would a minimum of 1.00 in stamps.

Thanks! I'll just beg my mom to let me write to Hilary Duff (for me and my bff!) and see what the post office says!

It costs 3 forever stamps up to 3 ounces and 4 stamps up to 5 ounces.
Best thing to do is put your envelope on a scale find out exact weight and go to USPS.com, put in zip to and from and you will get exact shipping cost
