Question

can a postage stamp be to old to use?

i found stamps in a drawer and they say 2003 on them

can i use them still?

do they ever get outdated or whatever?

please answer.. i know this sounds soo stupid but its a seriouse question..

Answer 1

you can still use it but you have to buy 1 cent stamps in 2003 the stamps were 32 cents n now they are 42 cents

Answer 2

no they're not too old, but they're worth less then they cost now. you just need to buy one cent stamps and add them until they're the right amount.

Answer 3

No, they're not too old to use.  (In fact, the USPS hasn't "de-monetized" stamps since the 1800's, so you can even use stamps that are over 100 years old.  Not a lot of people know that, which is why this is certainly NOT a stupid question!)  But the ones you have are just 37 cents and the current first-class rate is 42 cents, so you'll need to get some 5-cent stamps at the Post Office.  If your letter weighs 2 ounces, the rate is 59 cents.  Using 2 of your old ones would mean you're paying 74 cents, so while you're buying those 5-cent ones, get one for 17 also!  (yep, they sell those, too)

Answer 4

Lol not a stupid question.

I have some of those, and I have had "heavy-ish" packages to send and I just stick a bunch of them on. Never had them returned.
