Hello,

Does anyone happen to know how much postage is needed to mail 1 Season's Best Cookbook?

Thanks!

I've never mailed one, but I can tell you how I would calculate it. If you have a kitchen scale, you can calculate it at home. What I do is get the envelope I'm going to use, and all of the items that will go in it, and ON it (label?). I then weight that on my kitchen scale (actually, mine was an office-supply store scale used for postage, but either would work. Anything that gives you ounces.)Then go on line to usps.com and click on the "Calculate postage". Follow the screen to enter the information (zipcode, weight, large envelope, etc). It will then give you a list of options. I think the first list are the more expensive. Just click on the blue bar to get the list for First-Class options. The blue bar is a drop-down list for each category of postage. That will tell you how much it would cost.Maybe tomorrow, someone else will be online and can tell you from experience.
I can't see it being that much. I just sent a folder with recruiting brochures/dvd, and a catalog - and it was about $2.50 or so. So I'd bet a SB would be less.

Last time I checked it was about $0.84. I tell people that they should buy them as greeting cards/birthday cards and they actually save money - Less than $2 for the card including mailing. Envelopes that the books fit in can be purchased at dollar stores.
