I figured I would put this in here, for anyone who might not know...I didn't know until today (and I feel like an idiot for not knowing this), so it's possible that there could be others, especially outside the US.

If you're sending a large envelope, and you have a "stiffener", or a piece of cardboard in your envelope, you have to ship it as a "package", and it will require more postage. This seems to be a very inconsistently enforced rule, but it is there, and to be safe, I'd pay attention to it. I was VERY displeased when I learned of this TODAY, and it dawned on me that my return packages might not have enough postage on them. Don't want anyone else to experience that!

Hi everyone,

New here, recently started collecting again after a long long absence...there's just nothing better than that feeling you get when you open that envelope!

I am in the UK, and I would like to add to this that on ebay, I found what it says is the official ebay shop of USPS and they do send anywhere in the world. I just made a purchase of a sheet of 10 $2 stamps, which I will try to use on SAEs when sending to the celebs. I thought I would go that route not knowing if I could use multiple Global Forever stamps for higher weights. I hope they are legit! Cost was face value plus a smidge over $6 for shipping and postage to the UK. Hope this helps anyone in the same position. (their username on ebay is usps)

Yes, you can use multiple Global Forever stamps for higher weights! And just wanted to let you (and everyone else) know that I sell US stamps and charge way less than $6 for shipping. :) Anyone can contact me if they need stamps, I'll gladly help out.

Thankyou Bri for both the information and the offer, that is extremely kind. When these run out I might very well take you up on that!
