Postage Basics
- Stamps.com online software is used for all county offices. Do not use desktop stamps.com software.
- Some counties have additional postage provided by the county.
- Postage budget year is 9/1 – 8/31
- Use email, social media, website, etc. when possible to avoid wasting postage.

- When Stamps.com balance is below $50 go to: https://agrilife.org/d3adminservices/postage- request/
- Stamps.com should be used by running envelope or postcard through printer. Postage will be applied directly to mail piece. Stamp labels come as a sheet of 25 labels. They are called net stamps and they can be used but the cost of the net stamp adds $.03 to each piece of mail. These are suggested only for newsletters or items too large to go through the printer. Net stamps can be requested at: https://agrilife.org/d3adminservices/postage-request/
- By using Stamps.com, price per piece of mail is cheaper. For example, a letter stamp in Stamps.com is $.50, whereas a normal letter stamp is $.55.
