Can I use part of a stamp to make up the 1 cent necessary to add to the 42 cent stamp??r=1220308312?

Question

I have a ton of 41 cent stamps as well as other denominations. am I able to cut part of the stamp and add it to the 41Cent stamp to mail a letter or does the post office forbid that?

Answer 1

Defacing postage stamps is wrong. It's all or nothing at all. Hint: you don't have to put on full postage. If you put on at least some postage, the recipient will have to pay the rest.  

Answer 2

I hope your kidding. NO! You have to buy 1 cent stamps.

Answer 3

no, you can't do that. You will either have to go buy some 1 cent stamps like i had to do (burnt 5$ in gas to go buy five 1 cent stamps), or stick two stamps on the thing.

  I would have come out cheaper just using two 41 cent stamps, but that's your call.
