Is 6 stamps enough to mail a phone that weighs 4.7oz?

Question

im mailing a phone to my friend in PA and i dont have time to go to the post office, so is 6 $0.42 stamps enough? i tried searching, and i found that each stamp carries about 1oz.

Answer 1

Many US post offices have "outside" lobbies that are open 24 hours a day, but the clerical counters are locked during off-business hours.  Of course, some post offices lock up totally after hours to prevent vandalism.

If you can get to a post office whose lobby is open, often there are now electronic machines that weigh your item and give you the proper postal rate, and you can buy stamps from a machine and mail it if it is not too big to fit in the parcel receptical.

I would think that $2.52 is WAY too much postage, but I do not know.

Answer 3

You are going to have go to the post office or a package carrier like UPS or FedEx because if you place the wrong postage on the package, if will be mailed back to you. Although you mentioned you could not go to the Post Office, you could try a UPS Store (find a location at http://upsstore.com) or Mail Boxes Ect. (find a store at http://www.mbe.com).
