The rates were 8 cents per zone. The 8-cent stamp (C4) paid for a single zone (e.g., New York to Chicago). The 16-cent stamp (C5) paid for two zones (e.g., New York to Cheyenne). The 24-cent stamp (C6) paid for all three zones, covering the entire coast-to-coast route. Combined Shipping: We offer combined shipping.
