Sending a Catalog in the Mail - How Many Stamps Do I Need?

[J.Corley]

I need to drop a catalog in the mail but I don't know how many stamps it will take. I can't make it into the PO today but need this catalog on its way. You all have any idea if two will work?

The last time I mailed a catalog it cost around$1.25.

Here's a great tool to help you calculate postage:

Our catalogs are over 4 ounces, so it's usually around $1.48 to mail them in the "large envelopes" category. It usually takes 4 first class stamps ($.41 each).

If you're mailing it by itself, it's only 3.8 ounces, and costs $1.31 to mail, but that's still at least 4 stamps (because you need 3 $.41 stamps plus $.08). HTH!

I know that lately I stuck a few flyers in there too (just 3 pieces of regular 8 1/2 X 11 paper) and it was over $1.48...more like $1.80 something??? Or maybe that was when I sent a recruiting DVD too.

It's not cheap.

Hi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I completely understand your urgency to get that catalog in the mail. From my experience, two stamps should be enough for a standard catalog. However, if your catalog is on the heavier side or if you're including any additional materials, it may require more stamps. If possible, I would recommend taking a quick trip to the post office to weigh the catalog and determine the exact number of stamps needed to ensure it arrives on time. I hope this helps and best of luck with your business!
