To be sure you have enough postage, follow the guidelines:
If you do not want your materials returned you will be notified via email, if you want to be notified by mail and have enclosed the SASE for the notification letter only, one .44 cent stamp will be sufficient.
If you have materials that you want returned, be aware that CD's, slides and prints with cardboard inserts do not qualify as machinable mail. Any mail item that is not bendable and soft will not be considered machinable.
Mark your envelope with "DO NOT BEND", "FRAGILE" or "NON-MACHINABLE" and use the following postage rates for return of slides, CD's, and photography:
