Postcards Are Very Confusing…

This is a bit of a ran­dom entry, but I’m about to send out a post­card to all the church­es in my new dis­trict, and I’ve had the hard­est time fig­ur­ing out what the rules and rates are for post­cards.

You’d think it would be extreme­ly easy to find that infor­ma­tion on the US Post Office web­site trans­porter 3 online , but it’s not.

After much search­ing, here are the basic rules: post­cards cost $.23 to mail and must be between a min­i­mum of 3–1/2 inch­es high by 5 inch­es long by 0.007 inch thick and a max­i­mum of 4–1/4 inch­es high by 6 inch­es long by 0.016 inch thick.

I don’t know if you’ll ever find that infor­ma­tion use­ful, but by blog­ging it here I’ll save myself a huge headache next time around!
