stamps?

[shellyckickinit.livejournal.com]

stupid question.

but the post office is closed and id rather mail these today than wait til monday and have to pay more. im sending valentines, basically construction paper hearts, some have a lollipop in them, in manilla envelops like the size of a pice of paper. they dont weigh much clearly. im sending them all to NY. do you think if i put a couple stamps on them, that will be fine? if so, how many stamps? 2? 3? i dont want them to get sent back to me and then have them never get there. but would rather not spend extra money to send them so they get there in 1 or 2 days...

thoughts?

tks.

Got a kitchen scale? Weight it and go here to calculate the rate:

I don't know if this is useful to you, but the South Station post office is open 24/7. If you have a T pass that might be the best option.

http://postcalc.usps.gov/ has information on calculating postage rates (there's a 13 cent surcharge for oversize envelopes). But Ron's right that if you want to make sure you can go to the Fort Point Channel post office (I hadn't realized it had gone back to being 24/7).

The Porter Square post office is actually open till 2pm on Saturdays so the OP could probably have gotten there in time...since the date stamp on this post is just before 1pm.

24-hour Automated Postal Center

According to USPS.com, there are "Automated Postal Centers" open 24/7 in Harvard Square and Arlington Center. I've never used one of these, but they may be sufficient for your needs.
