There's no easy answer to how many stamps your mail item needs because it's dependent on many different things such as weight, size, and the receiver's location. In most cases, a single postage stamp will suffice to mail a letter. That changes for irregularly shaped envelopes, heavy envelopes, or oversized envelopes.

When figuring out how many stamps you need to mail your letter or postcard, your postage costs will depend on the shape and size of your mail. If your envelope isn't flat, it won't fit in automated processing equipment, and you will be charged more.

The U.S. Postal Service has an online store of its stamp collection where you can purchase as many stamps as you'd like. Or there are other online retailers, such as Stamps.com, that sell stamps and allow you to buy and print postage from your home.

The standard stamp book for first-class mail postage includes 20 first-class stamps that can be applied to envelopes and also on first-class postage. You can also purchase Forever Stamps, which also have 20 stamps in a book. Each year the USPS releases a 64-page book called Collective Stamp Book.

Postage costs depend on the mail item size. Stamp prices for standard postage start at $0.40 for the standard-sized, rectangular postcard; the cost of a stamp for a regular envelope starts at $0.58; oversized postcards need stamps that start at $0.58; and oversized, square, or unusual envelope stamps start at $0.88. For large envelopes and small packages, prices range between $1.16 and $4.50. You will pay extra for nonstandard packages. For sizes between 22 and 30 inches long, add an additional $4.00 to costs. For packages longer than 30 inches and 2 cubic feet, there will be an additional fee of $15.00.

Each waterfowl hunter 16 years of age or older must carry on his/her person a valid federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp ("duck stamp") signed in ink across the face.

Duck stamps are not required for hunting coot, rails, gallinules, woodcock or snipe. Duck stamps are not required of minors 12 to 15 years of age hunting migratory waterfowl in New York State.

A list of states selling e-stamps through their on-line license vendor can be found at the USFWS Duck Stamp page (leaves DEC website). Although an e-stamp is legal to use in New York, New York does not currently have the ability to sell e-stamps through our license issuing vendor. We hope to develop that capacity in the next few years. A stamp costs $25.00 plus shipping and handling for phone or internet orders. For e-stamp sales, shipping and handling fees may vary by state.

Since their implementation, duck stamps have generated over $1 billion dollars that have been used to conserve or restore over 6 million acres of wetland habitat (leaves DEC website)!

Envelopes are for sending flat, flexible things, like letters, cards, checks, forms, and other paper goods. For just 1 $0.63 First-Class Mail Forever stamp, you can send 1 oz (about 4 sheets of regular, 8-1/2" x 11" paper in a rectangular envelope) to anywhere in the U.S.!

Save money using a $0.48 postcard stamp to send a standard-sized postcard anywhere in the U.S. Standard postcards are usually made of paper, are between 5" to 6" long and 3-1/2" to 4-1/4" high, and are between 0.007" and 0.016" thick.

Important Note: If your envelope has postage stamps and weighs more than 10 oz or is thicker than 1/2", you can't put it in a collection box; you have to give it to an employee at a Post Office location. See more details on What Can and Cannot be Deposited in a Collection Box?

Small businesses shipping a few packages can print and pay for postage online. Larger shippers can apply for a permit imprint and save money with commercial rates. Other convenient postage options are postage meters, precanceled stamps, and custom stamps. USPS and third-party vendors offer a variety of ways to track and pay for postage.

If you're a large volume mailer, using a permit imprint to make postage payments, you don't have to buy postage in advance, reset your meter, or affix stamps. Simply print postage information in the upper right corner of the mailpiece and only pay for postage when mailings are sent.
