Effective until when ? It's no longer .34 cents. But I get the idea.Originally posted by: JohnnyAnnalog

United States Postal Service - Rates Effective 1 July 2001
I've actually looked at stamps.com once but left as soon as I saw the service charge. I don't think I want to go through the trouble of having to cancel, as tempting as the scale is.Originally posted by: nitsuj3580
sign up for the free 29 day trial at Stamps.com and they'll send you a free digital scale along with supplies to print out stamps and postage right at home. It's pretty neat but I'm going to cancel when the trial is up.
You get to keep the scale though so then you can always weigh your mail to be sure

Basic paper is about 20 lbs weight @ 17x22, therefore you have 4x500 bricks of 8.5x11.
1 ounce = 30 grams
20 lbs = 320 ounces = 9600 grams
2000 sheets of 8.5x11 = 9600 grams
1 sheet of 8.5x11 = 4.8 grams
6 sheets x 4.8 grams = 28.8 grams
Therefor the total weight of 6 sheets of papers including envelope & staples is very likely over 1 ounce.
