Best Answer

because if you send a letter, each additional ounce is 17 cents. (ie: 1 oz is 0.44, 2 oz is 0.61, and 3 oz is 0.78.) Flats are the same (ie: 1 oz is 0.88, 2 oz is 1.05, etc.)

As of 12/21/11 it is 20 cents for the second ounce. First class rates will be up to 45 cents, first increase since 5/2008, additional ounce will be unchanged at 20 cents. Postcards increase to 32 cents then, also.
