I just bought an assortment of birthday cards and noticed the envelopes say, "No extra postage required?

Is this the same as, "No postage necessary" on certain business envelopes? If I mail one, should I put a stamp on it anyway?

If there is no postage on the envelope, either by a meter or stamp of some sort, and you didn't purchase the cards from the post office, then no, it's not the same as no postage necessary.





Some cards weigh a little more than regular letters, which means that they require more than the standard stamp to mail. I expect "No extra postage required" in this case just means that the card can be mailed at the regular price.
Reply:What "No extra postage required" means, is that the cost of one first class stamp will be sufficient. The weight of the card/envelope will not cost any more than the current first class postage stamp (one).


Take care.
Reply:Postage is necessary, just not extra.
Reply:it means it isn't oversized and should just require regular postage.
Reply:This means that only first-class postage is required - no "additional" postage. You will still need a standard stamp for these cards. The reason for this clarification is that some "oversized" envelopes may be large enough to require postage of more than a standard stamp.
Reply:i have seen this on qvc once where the envelopes were already ready to go. no postage required, it was around christmas time %26amp; it really meant the postage had been paid for the mailing of the cards. that was the first and only time i ever seen anything like that.
