A retailer may sell stamps above or below total postage value, but an unusually low price deserves careful verification.
Postage value versus selling price
One hundred current Forever Stamps have $82 in postage value. A seller’s package price is a separate commercial figure. Compare the same quantity and category, including shipping and fees.
Warning signs
- Claims of official USPS affiliation without proof

- Domains and checkout pages that do not match
After an order arrives
Check the quantity, category, packaging, physical condition, and order details before using stamps for a large mailing. Retain packaging and photographs if the order is wrong or damaged.

Frequently asked questions
Are discounted Forever Stamps automatically fake?
No, but price alone cannot prove authenticity. Evaluate the complete seller and product evidence.

No. Postage value pays toward mailing; retail price is what a seller charges.
What should I compare?
Category, individual count, format, seller, shipping, payment protections, return terms, and final checkout total.
