The cost associated with mailing a standard-sized envelope is determined by the weight and dimensions of the item, as well as the speed of delivery selected. Prices are set by postal services and are subject to change. For example, a standard letter weighing one ounce typically incurs a specific charge for postage.
Accurate assessment of mailing fees ensures timely and proper delivery of correspondence. Understanding these costs allows for efficient budgeting for personal and business communications. Historically, postal rates have reflected a balance between operational expenses, infrastructure development, and service accessibility.
