I am trying to send a letter to Germany, how many stamps do I need?

Question

It is a regular letter, just paper. Nothing fancy.

Answer 1

Go to the post office.  They will be able to tell you there.

You might just be able to call them or check their website to get the information you need.

Answer 2

what country are you in - if its Australia you need $1.95.

Answer 3

from the US it is 1.95 USD. I send letters to germany on a regular basis, and with a 2 dollar stamp it takes normally 5-7 days to arrive.

Answer 4

Just one, but it´s value depends on

air or sea

weight of the letter

You have to see your postoffice.

Answer 5

It depends on from which country you send it and its weight.

I recommend to go to the post office and ask.

And you better don't do what montanus said: "Gebühr zahlt Empfänger".

If you do it might be send back because the receiver must pay the postage plus a fee (gets punished therefore because you didn't put on sufficient postage). Do you want this?

Answer 6

90 cents

Answer 7

57

Answer 8

DONT put stamps on it, take it to the post office and have them weigh it and sent it AIR/LUFT.

If you don't your letter could end up going by SHIP and not PLANE and take months to get there rather than days, usually no more than 7-10 days.

No matter it a letter or a package always go and have it weighed, and tagged Air/Luft so it goes by plane!!

Answer 9

it depends on how heavy the letter is.

Answer 10

stamps are needed per ounce.

not distance.

one stamp if it is a regular letter.

Answer 11

Call 1-800-ask-usps and ask them.

Answer 12

Get the letter ready to send and go to your local post office.  They will be able to tell you how much and how many stamps you will need to buy.

Answer 13

Answer 14

Answer 16

Visit your local post office or call them.

Answer 17

In generally the people on the post office will be able to help you! Otherwise write above the address "Porto zahlt Empfänger" (Porto will be paid by receiver)    ;-)

Answer 22

Send it by fax , no need to fix any stamps .

Answer 23

Hahahhaa... that's funny. My roommate and I received a letter from our German friends from Solingen, and it came with like 20 stamps on there because they were not sure how many were needed, and it was VERY humorous. .... if it's for a friend, it might actually be something cute to do, and explain why you put so many on there because you wanted to make sure it got there.

Answer 24

You better go to the post office. Airmail and how much is weight this can be cost more than 57 cents.

Answer 25

If the letter is less than an ounce, then you need 90 cents worth of stamps.  Which means you can overpay by using 3 normal stamps ($1.23) , or buy an international stamp for exactly 90 cents.

If your letter is over an ounce, you can look at the pdf file below on page 31, using column 3 to see how much you will need to pay in stamps.

Answer 26

Call post office to be sure.
