Q: Can a stamp be considered postage within China?
A: Yes, I put it inside the envelope.
Q: I noticed that some pre-paid envelopes already have the postage printed directly on them. Can I use my own envelope, add a stamp, and write my return address to create a self-made prepaid envelope? Also, I saw someone just using an envelope without mentioning any postage or prepaid envelope. Is this simply referring to an envelope as a substitute for a prepaid envelope?
A: Yes, blank self-adhesive stamps can be used as postage stamps. It is best to use regular postage stamps, and the postage stamp designs on the postage stamps cannot be printed independently; this is illegal.
Q: For international mail, domestic postage doesn't work, so the only option is to use return coupons?
A: Yes, but we need to check if the postal service in the destination country can handle international return card transactions. Currently, the price of the Chinese postal international return card is 12 yuan/piece, but it has an expiration date and will be invalid after that.
P.S. This is based on my personal experience. When purchasing offline, you need to ask the post office if they have stock. Generally, post offices rarely keep this in stock. If you need it, you should inform the counter staff in advance and request the ticket from the higher-level postal company. The process usually takes about 20 working days.
