The site is fine for normal letters, but if you imply you have a thick or padded envelope it jumps to first class boxes. For the life of me I can not seem to find the correct mouse clicks to determine how many stamps to add.

Help please?

(PS, is there a better means to send in the forms and UPC box cut-outs for big rebates?)

Less than 1/4" Thick - envelope
1/4" to 3/4" thick - large envelope

If you are just doing a rebate submittal, a first class stamp on a letter sized envelope is all you need.

Grrrrr. Looking at it again, have to click more. When I do what you mention, large envelope, the options are all in between $20 - $25, way too much to be correct. It's where I get hung up.

But you grab the dark blue bar at the bottom and then it's $1.52, much better. That was what I was missing, can't believe I didn't see it til now.

Thanks -

It's a rebate submittal, but it includes 2 cardboard UPC cut-outs and it's for $400, so I went ahead and brought the whole thing down to the post office and went w/ certified mail. Too much of a rebate for a stamp!
