Help with Stamps

You can use the "Forever" stamps--forever! So you don't need to add a 1 cent.

As people said they are good anytime. Also a tip for you since you are like me and don't use stamps often -- Always buy these forever stamps. They continue to be available and they are the only ones I buy just in case some don't get used before the postage invevitably changes next year.

You can use those by themselves because they are the forever stamp. You do not need the one cent stamp with those.

thats too funny, sorry cant help you w/ this one as i have the same problem. i am going to go read your replies so maybe i can use my stamps too. they go up so often its hard to keep track.

ok i read the replies, thats cool they are good for forever. my question now is how much do they currently cost compared to a normal stamp price?

Hi S.,

The nice thing about Forever stamps means you can use them forever. You don't need to any one stamps to them. When you buy forever stamps - it costs what the current stamp price is. But you can use them no mater how much the postage goes up. Hope that helps! (It does get so confusing, esp. if you don't mail much. Postage prices go up way to frequently.)

That's the forever stamp - you do not have to add anything to it.

These are the forever stamps, they are good....forever.

The stamp w/ the Libery Bell is called the "Forever" stamp, know matter how high the price of stamps get,you'll still be able to use those stamps. So to answer your question, no need for the one cent stamps.

Yes, it's a forever stamp. You can use those no matter how much the price of mailing letters costs. No need to add any additional postage for a 1st class letter.

I agree with everyone...The forever stamp is a good thing!

the forever stamps a good "forever" no matter how much stamps go up, you can still use just these.

Forever stamps are just that - they will work as first class stamps forever, providing the letters aren't so heavy that they require extra postage. There is no need for the extra 1-cent stamp.

those are called "forever" stamps you can us them.... dont have to add anything with it.

have a great one

You've probably already gotten a response but Forever stamps are good forever - i.e. go up in value if prices are ever raised.

I'm going to reiterate what many others have already said: the stamps you appear to have are Forever stamps. The USPS introduced those stamps over a year ago when postage continued to increase. So no matter when you bought them and no matter what they cost when you bought them, they are still good. You don't need the extra one cent stamps to use them.

If you're not sure, go to www.usps.com. You can find all of the information about postage with the click of a mouse.

If it says forever on it then it is the forever stamp which means that they change price to what is current without you having to buy more stamps. However if you feel uncertain ask your mail man/women they should be able to confirm it.

It sounds like you have some "forever stamps" like the previous poster said. I would call the post office or stop by one while you are out running errands and show them what you have.

I don't think you need the 1 cent stamps. SWe use those same stamps and I know I purchased mine before the price went up and haven't had a problem with sending cards.

The liberty bell stamps are forever stamps so they should be fine as is. You can go to the post office and ask if feel more comfortable.

stamps with the bell are called "Forever Stamps" and as the name implies, they are good forever and no additional postage is necessary even if the price of stamps has increased since you purchased them. good deal, huh?

These are forever stamps. The post office did ask us to stock up on them, so we should never have to add to them. Any other stamps you will need additional. Trust all will go well.

Stamps have gone up several times since 07 but I think if they don't have the amount on them they are the "forever stamps" so you wouldn't need any additional postage, not positive though.

Hi S. - I asked at the post office when the 1 cent increase went into effect. You do not have to add postage to these stamps - they are good for first class letter forever! Good to know next time rates go up - stock up before it goes up!

You are in luck. No need for a 1 cent stamp, as "forever" stamps are just that, meant to be used forever at whatever the current postage fee is for mailing a letter.

This means they are first class stamps and good no matter what price increases have happened since you purchased them.

They are "Forever" stamps and they are good forever!

If it is a 'forever' stamp, it should say 'forever' along the edge of the pic.

YOu might want to look on line or ask at the post office on Monday but I'm pretty sure what you have there is the "forever" stamp. It will always be the proper postage no matter how much the cost to send a letter goes up. It will just cost you more to BUY the stamp.

S.,
If the stamps have "forever" on them, the make-up 1 cent stamp is not needed.

S.,

The stamps you have you can use as full value. Last year they sold the liberty bell stamps when the stamps went up to 41 cents but advertised that if you bought the bell stamps, they would be good for ever no matter when you used them.
I also just pay my bills online but I work in an office and purchase the supplies, I do remember this well.

Those are the Forever stamps. They are worth whatever the going rate is. Right now it is 42 cents. If you were to buy a bunch of those before the next price increase, they would be worth the new amount. (i.e. They are just right all the time.)

if it is forever stamp, then you are fine....if not then you will need 1cent stamps. You may need to go to the post office to ask or look on line at the us post office info.

I went to the post office the other day and asked the postmaster about the different stamps that didn't have an amount on them. I am 99% sure she said that only the Liberty Bell stamp is good no matter how much stamps have gone up. You could call your post office to be positive however. I had some that had flags with nothing written on it, and the postmaster said that they were 41 cents and needs a one cent stamp. I had already mailed them though, and they went through fine.
