The return address is your name, street address and city state zip. Contrary to popular opinion, a return address is not mandatory but is quite helpful if you haven’t followed USPS guidelines to the T. Back in the olden days, looking at the stamp could tell you quite a story: Yes, this was in my lifetime thank you very much.Ī third item on an envelope is the return address found in the upper left corner. You’ll never know how much it cost to send that envelope because the stamp won’t tell you. As millenials, you will not have that precious experience of looking across the table at a friend and saying “Remember when we stamps were 6 cents?” while smiling fondly and shaking your head. You can pay 50 cents for a stamp today and use it a year or two from now when the cost of a stamp is 55 cents. Put the stamp in the upper right hand corner without obliterating any portion of the TO address. One Forever stamp per envelope is generally sufficient.
Avoid using gold ink on a gold envelope for example. The print should be in contrast to the envelope (white envelope: blue or black ink creates contrast). This information should be clearly written to be legible by your most elderly aunt. It’s a little like sharing on Facebook–you have to find the person by name with whom you want to share that crazy link. The 2nd is the street address and the 3rd is City State Zip. There should be 3 lines: the first is the person’s name (first AND last is helpful). Usually you want the back flap on top but it doesn’t really matter. Put this in the middle of the envelope when it is in landscape format. An envelope needs to be addressed to the desired recipient. When you need to send mail out–like a birthday card to your father or a wedding invitation - you’ll need envelopes, addresses and stamps. Stop calling your mother while she is in the cemetery to ask “how do I send this phone back again? I’m at the post office and the lady says she can’t help me. However, for many people, going to the post office personally can be challenging–like spending Thanksgiving night with your parents.ĭespite current technologies, there will be a need for this service for the foreseeable future. It’s pretty efficient and cost effective especially when you consider what its customers ask of it sometimes. It moves paper and packages from your house to mine. The USPS is an independent agency of the federal government. Share this with your children if you feel they might benefit. I believe this applies to Millenials and any younger generation such as Post Millenial or Gen Z.
There is ample evidence that we did not cover this life skill and I thought you might be in the same boat.
#Send snail mail online 50 cents how to#
It has come to my attention that we failed our children in at least one life lesson: how to use the United States Postal Service (USPS or “snail mail”).
