Just ran out of my 75 and 63 cent stamps (2 75s and a 63 to make $2.13).  They don't make the .63s anymore, and I figure the smartest idea would be to get stamps that add up to $2.16.  That is, for media mail I'd be wasting only three cents, and I'd be able to handle nine-ounce first class envelopes ($2.16) or a seven ounce package ($2.15).

Any three-stamp combinations give this?

Why not get $1 stamps, 10 cent stamps, and 1 cent stamps? I've received a lot of packages with that combination - 2 $1 stamps, 1 10 cent stamp, and 3 1 cent stamps. Although apparently not all post offices carry the $1 stamps - mine doesn't. They also make 5 cent stamps.

I guess I just like to only put three stamps on instead of six.  No big deal, but a little simpler.

Two .69 and one .75 = 2.13

Also, they make 3cent stamps, instead of three 1 cent stamps...that would cut down by 2.

I've been receiving books that had 5 41c stamps and 1 4c stamps and that = $2.13

You can order denomination of stamp through USPS.  All from the comfort of your computer.  They will have the ones your local PO doesn't carry.

I've just been dragging my books to the Post Office.  The man gives me a funny little look and poof! exact postage.

5  41c stamps plus a 4c stamp totals $2.09.  You have to have 2  4c stamps added to the 41c ones to total $2.13.

Since I do the Delivery confirmation and need $2.31 I waste a cent and do 4- 58 cent stamps which equal 2.32.

You could do the 2 - .75's  then add one .58 and one.05  which would give you exactly $2.13.

Here is a thought, has anybody ever patitioned the post office, to Offer a Media Mail Stamp?

Don't forget you can't put stamped packages in a blue box if they are over 13oz! 

Just buy postage here.  Saves you a lot of time, and you can just drop your package at the Post Office and jet!

I purchase $1.00 stamps and .17 cent stamps for a total of 3 stamps ($2.17).
