| Aug 21, 2018 at 15:26 | comment | added | Joe | @JasonReljac A letter (first class) would cost $1.15, up to 1 ounce (see pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/Notice123.htm#_c341), so perhaps 3 stamps will cover it. | |

| Aug 21, 2018 at 13:34 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | @JasonReljac: USPS is the only one who cares about the stamps (since, after all, they are the ones who got the money when you bought them). They'll pay the foreign postal service directly, if needed; there are complicated treaties on this. Hopefully you didn't just use one Forever stamp, though, because that's not enough postage for an international letter. | |
| Aug 21, 2018 at 12:51 | comment | added | Jason Reljac | Just dropped a newly addressed letter in the mail today so we'll see if this works but it does seem to make sense. As for correct postage, I wonder how foreign countries like the forever stamp. | |
