If you send the mini catalog with one sheet of paper in the 24lb white wove greeting card envelopes (I have the Office Depot Brand), it only takes one stamp ... but if you use the brown 6x9 envelope, it takes more than one stamp.
I know that you were asking about the full catalog shipping costs but I just wanted to throw that out there since I knew the shipping costs for the mini's... never know when you might need to send one out! I send them out with catalog show invites for my hosts who have catalog shows to spark their interest and to help my hosts not have to call everyone or try to get a catalog to all his/her friends!

Or the person you sent it to will get a nice sticker with "Postage Due" on it. I had that happen to me for an e-bay package I sent. So far, no word about catalogs, but I had them weighed at the PO.
