If you’ve ever put a stamp on a letter and sent it directly to your family, friends, or lover, or applied for a giveaway or radio story, you’ll remember the mood at that time. These days, it is possible to send e-mails, messengers, and video calls to overseas buyers according to the local time, so sending letters with stamps has become something that is not done except in special cases. So, there are many people who don’t even know where stamps are sold or how much they cost, so I’ll write about that information.

Postage stamps should be priced differently depending on the shipment or adjusted in number to match the price required. 350 won for 1 postcard, 380 won for standard envelopes containing up to 4 A4 sheets, 400 won for standard envelopes containing 9 A4 sheets or less, 6 A4 sheets for large envelopes If you send a piece of paper that is less than 470 won, you must calculate and attach a postage stamp worth 470 won. 기념우표 파는 곳
The current price of regular postage is 380 won, and considering the weight of the item to be shipped, you can purchase a premium postage or attach additional postage to match the amount. If a postage of an amount less than the actual weight is attached, the mail may not be sent or returned, so it is recommended to calculate the price generously. 좋은뉴스
Also, please note that the price of commemorative stamps, collectible stamps, etc., other than regular stamps for sending, is not fixed.
Stamp Shop: General/Commemorative/Collection
Next, I’ll write a postage stamp shop. It can be largely divided into offline and online. Post offices, stationery stores, convenience stores, and supermarkets sell offline stamps. Stationary stores, convenience stores, supermarkets, etc. have a separate sign near the entrance to sell stamps. However, in reality, there are very few places that sell stamps offline, so if you are purchasing stamps in person, please head to the nearest post office or post office.
※ Go to Internet Post Office

Therefore, to purchase stamps easily and safely, we recommend using an online stamp shop. Search for [Internet Post Office] in the search bar or access the site through the address above, then click the [Stamps/Postcards/Congratulatory Cards] menu at the top. Next, click [Stamps] – [Internet Stamps].
On the next page, check [I agree] to the terms of use and personal information collection and use guide, respectively, and set a password to confirm the application.
At the bottom, you can check the cost of mailing, and use the simple weight calculator to calculate the size of the mail to be sent in advance. Then, in the [Post Size] section, select the calculated weight to determine the postage value.
Next, write the sender’s name, address, contact information, and email, and enter the recipient’s name, address, and contact information respectively.

Also, if you click the [Preview] button before payment, you can check the Internet postage information in advance.

In addition to this, you can also make stamps with your favorite photos. You can make your own stamps with commemorative family photos or photos taken by yourself. If you select the type among basic type/promotional type/sheet type and set the quantity separately, you can make it after payment.
Please also note that you must visit the post office in person along with supporting documents when making stamps of copyrighted images, such as photos with portrait rights or works of art, such as celebrities.
If you are constantly purchasing newly issued stamps for your stamp collection, you may want to sign up for a service that automatically delivers each time a stamp is issued through the [Hobby Post Mail Order] menu. Not only has the number of postage stamps decreased significantly, but there are cases where the entire number of postage stamps is sold unexpectedly early, depending on the design or meaning of the stamps. Using this service, you can collect all stamps without missing them.
You can also check the annual commemorative stamp or postcard issuance plan, so if you are collecting stamps, it would be helpful to purchase them on the scheduled date or to subscribe to the post office’s hobbies mail order service.

Occasionally, old bookstores and stores in Jongno also handle it, so please refer to it.
