How & Why We Offer Over 10%+ Discounted Stamps
Why We Can Offer Discounted Forever Stamps
We guarantee the authenticity and availability of every stamp we sell. Many customers ask how we can maintain competitive prices—especially when USPS retail rates continue to rise.
Here is the clear and transparent explanation.
1. USPS Prices Increase Regularly — We Buy Before Each Increase
USPS has raised the price of Forever Stamps many times over the years.
The current official USPS retail price (2026) is $0.82 per stamp.
Because Forever Stamps never expire and always retain full mailing value, we purchase large quantities before each USPS price adjustment.
This allows us to secure stamps at lower historical prices and pass part of the savings to our customers.
Example:
When the retail price was $0.55, our effective cost was around $0.44 due to bulk purchasing and timing.
This price‑locking strategy is one of the key reasons we can still offer meaningful discounts today.
2. Bulk Procurement = Lower Cost
We purchase stamps in very large quantities—far beyond what typical consumers or small sellers can access.
Large‑volume procurement reduces:
- Per‑unit cost
- Logistics cost
- Handling cost
This allows us to offer 10%+ discounts while maintaining stable supply and operational reliability.
3. Multi‑currency Settlement Helps Reduce Costs
Depending on your payment method, the payment processor may settle funds through different international channels.
You may see a payment recipient associated with:
- The United States
- Switzerland
- Singapore
- China
- Cayman Islands
This is normal and relates to currency exchange optimization, which helps reduce our operational cost.
These savings are part of why we can offer discounted pricing.
4. Why Some “Discount Stamp” Websites Are Fake
Because our procurement cost never goes below 40% off, any website selling stamps at below $39 per 100 stamps is almost certainly selling counterfeit or unusable stamps.
We encourage customers to be cautious and choose reputable sellers with transparent sourcing and consistent pricing.
Our Discount Levels
USPS does not offer discounts greater than 20% to the public, and authorized dealers cannot sell below a certain threshold.
However, because we purchase stamps in bulk and lock in lower historical prices, we can offer:
- Minimum discount: 10%+
- Higher discounts for larger quantities
- 100 to 5,000 stamps per order
The more you buy, the more you save.
Current Pricing Example (2026)
- USPS official retail price: $0.82
- Our retail price: $0.73 per stamp
- Example price for 100 stamps: $65
- Effective discount: 10%+
Even at this price, we remain profitable due to our procurement strategy and cost‑efficient operations.
