How many stamps?

Posted at: 2015-07-28 
How many stamps do I need to send a letter from California, USA to Norway? And does anyone know the cheapest way to send a small sized package to Norway as well?

Usually it's two domestic stamps to send a letter overseas. But to send a package, you have to take it to the post office and have them weigh it.

you need to have the exact address and since you can't share that with us. here's a calculater to tell you how much it will cost you.

all you need to do is bring it to the post office and they will stamp it with exactly how much you need to spend. but use the calculater so you can get an amount of money to bring to the post office.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) bases pricing of mail on a combination of size, weight, shape, destination, item valuation, and class of service selected. USPS will let you send a regular letter sized envelope from a United States location to an International destination without a customs form.

Using a sender selected envelope which does not exceed a maximum length of 11-1/2 inches, maximum height of 6-1/8 inches, or maximum thickness of 1/4 inch, USPS First-Class Mail International service will send a one ounce weight letter for $1.15. The price increases as the weight goes up. These examples are some actual postage prices to send a letter to Norway. One Forever Global stamp is worth $1.15, and will send an envelope containing one ounce to an International destination, but it will take three $.49 USPS Forever stamps to send that same one ounce envelope.

mailing 1 ounce - $1.15 (takes three Forever stamps)

mailing 2 ounces - $2.13 (takes five Forever stamps)

mailing 3 ounces - $3.12 (takes seven Forever stamps)

larger envelope - maximum length of 15 inches, height of 12 inches, and thickness of 3/4 inch

mailing 4 ounces - $5.10

mailing 5 ounces - $6.04

mailing 6 ounces - $6.97

mailing 7 ounces - $7.91

mailing 8 ounces - $8.85

mailing 9 ounces - $10.72

mailing 10 ounces - $10.72

mailing 11 ounces - $10.72

mailing 12 ounces - $10.72

mailing 13 ounces - $12.60

mailing 14 ounces - $12.60

mailing 15 ounces - $12.60

mailing 16 ounces - $12.60

If you can get to a local Post Office branch, they can weigh the envelope and apply the exact postage amount, saving you a little bit. You can also purchase from USPS an international rate Forever stamp, called 'Global: Sea Surface Temperatures', which is valued at $1.15 per stamp, and use it to send future letters or greeting cards.
