Is it cheaper to buy a roll of stamps?

How do I know if I have enough postage?

Divide the postage price by the price of a Forever stamp. If your postage cost comes to $2.32, for example, you would divide 2.32 by 0.58 to get 4. Therefore, you would need 4 stamps. Don’t forget to round up if necessary to ensure that you have enough postage, since it’s not possible to use a fraction of a stamp.

What happens if my letter is too heavy?

Customers must affix additional postage when mailing letters weighing in excess of 1 ounce and/or letters subject to the nonmachinable surcharge or mailpieces subject to another rate of postage (e.g., large envelopes or packages).
