Stamps are an essential item that allows individuals to send letters, postcards, and packages to each other without question. They are affixed on parcels or packages at an affordable price. To avoid paying this fee, shippers sometimes get tempted to reuse stamps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is this a safe practice? No, it is not. The truth is you cannot reuse stamps. It is illegal for items shipped via the USPS or any postal service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, it is also not worth it, especially when you compare the labor involved to the cost (about $0.63 per oz) for stamps at USPS or other post offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This guide explains whether you can reuse a stamp and explores the legality, consequences, and ethical concerns of such an act. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reusing stamps for envelopes or mail going through a post office or courier is an illegal and punishable offense. Stamp reuse involves lifting a used stamp from an item or parcel and placing it on another.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Parcels with used or counterfeit stamps will be rejected or abandoned by the carrier. According to postal laws, anyone who reuses a stamp without the permission of a postmaster is guilty of a federal offense, which may result in fines or a criminal record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
