The cost of mailing a letter depends on the weight, size, and destination of the letter. For a standard letter size envelope weighing 1 ounce or less and being sent within the United States, the cost is currently $0.55.
Postage rates are calculated based on the weight, size, and destination of the mail piece. The United States Postal Service (USPS) has a postage rate calculator on their website that can help determine the cost of mailing based on these factors.
First-class mail is for personal or business correspondence and bills, and has a faster delivery time compared to standard mail, which is typically used for bulk mailing. First-class mail also includes additional services such as tracking and insurance.
Postage rates can change annually or even more frequently. The USPS typically announces any changes in postage rates in advance, and the updated rates can be found on their website. It is important to always check the current rates before mailing to ensure proper postage is applied.
There are several ways to save on postage costs, such as using a postage meter, presorting your mail, or using USPS services like Priority Mail Flat Rate envelopes and boxes. It is also important to make sure that your mail piece meets the requirements for the lowest postage rate possible.
