Many of us lead busy, chaotic lifestyles that make it hard to get to your local USPS office through the week, and it’s the last place you want to journey to during the weekend. So where else can you purchase stamps when you’re on the go?
You’ll be happy to know that Walmart does sell stamps. To find out more about the kind of stamps you can purchase from this popular chain store, then carry on reading this article!
How Much Is It To Purchase Stamps At Walmart?
Walmart sells postage stamps for the same price as the United States Post Office. The price for a book of 20 First-Class Forever stamps is currently $11.60.
The great thing about purchasing stamps from Walmart is that the store is open from 7am to 11pm most days including weekends. These hours are slightly better than post office hours which are usually 9pm to 5pm.
Which Aisle Are Stamps Located?
You will find stamps at either the money service counter or the customer service desk at Walmart stores. Both counters usually open and close along with the rest of the store, however, they may close earlier in quieter locations.
If you are planning to visit your local Walmart store in the evening, it may be best to call the store ahead of time to check if the counter will be open.
What Is The Maximum Amount Of Stamps I Can Buy?
Stamps are available to purchase individually or in booklets of 20, so you can purchase as many as you like (unless you have a ridiculously large order).
Can I Purchase Stamps At Walmart Online?
Yes, you can even purchase even more stamps online including booklets of 100 and more. Therefore, if you require a large number of stamps, we recommend ordering them through Walmart online.
If using the online service, you may be charged shipping fees. However, you could opt for an in-store collection to save money. This is sometimes the better option, particularly if you need a large number of stamps quickly as your local Walmart may not have them in stock.
Can I Post Letters And Packages In Walmart?
You can post letters and packages in Walmart stores that have access to FedEx services. However, this is not available in all stores, so you may want to call ahead of your visit, or speak to a team member on arrival.
It is worth noting that even though you may not be able to post your items at Walmart, you can certainly purchase packaging materials including:
- Envelopes
- Bubble Wrap
- Padded bags
- Labels
Purchasing these products from Walmart is often a quarter of the price as they are at your local USPS. So take note!
Do Walmart Stamps Have An Expiration Date?
Absolutely not. It’s all in the name (Forever stamps). Therefore, you will never have to worry about your stamps being past their expiration date.
Do Walmart Stamps Have Different Designs?
Stamps, in general, have different designs depending on the time of the year i.e. Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, etc.
That doesn’t mean you have to purchase stamps with a certain design. You can just stick to the traditional red flag design we all know and love!
Paying For Stamps In Walmart
You can pay for stamps using the following payment methods:
- Cash
- Debit card
- Credit card
This applies to online purchases too, but you can also pay with Amex Express Checkout and PayPal. At this moment in time, customers are unable to pay for stamps using popular contactless payment methods such as Google Pay, Apple Pay, and Samsung Pay. Although this may change in the near future.
Can I Return Stamps At Walmart?
Yes, you can return any item as long as it is unused, in the original packaging, and you have the original receipt. Therefore, if you have used a few stamps out of a booklet, you will not be able to return it to the store.
Other Stores That Sell Stamps
You may be glad to know that you can purchase stamps at other well-known grocery stores including CVS, Target, and Walgreens. However, the same can’t be said for their online services, so you may want to check that out.
Stamps are often priced the same at each store too which is always good to know!
The Final Say
Walmart sells First Class US Forever stamps in booklets of 20 for $11.60. While all Walmart stores sell stamps, there is a chance that the area in which they are sold (Money Service checkout or customer service desk), may be closed depending on what time you choose to make your purchase. If this is the case, you can always purchase stamps by visiting the Walmart website.
