I've googled the question, reviewed the webpage and checked countless pages on reef2reef. I'm probably just missing the answer.
I recently mailed my 1st test to Triton US, with 4 USA Forever Stamps (after my office weighed the package) and the package was "refused" and returned to me.
How much postage do I need? I'm in North Carolina.
Thank you
Eric

Also cost me $3. There’s another thread I think and the consensus was that stamps no longer worked and most everyone paid $3 for it.

I've sent three out before. I just go to my local Post Office and tell them I want to ship this package out to the address. They weigh it and apply postage. Costs me around $3.00.
This, i live in NC too and I unfortunately just take it to the post office. I wish triton could find a way to incorporate universal pre-paid postage into the price, but wishful thinking.

7 Forever stamps from Virginia as well. Used to be 6, but the USPS raised rates earlier in the year. Value of Forever stamps and the cost of a First Class letter went up, but unfortunately the cost to mail a package increased exponentially.

Not sure why Triton remains tone deaf to the market. Their competitors are consolidating in California, shipping to Germany for testing, provide more tests, are generally 2-3 days quicker and include a prepared label... all for US$10.00 less.

Is this something new because ive never had to add postage? In the past i just drop it in the mailbox and that's it.

That's just not possible......are you sure you are doing a TRITON ICP? There are others with free postage.

I know this is an old thread but I just sent in a Coralvue ICP test from South Florida to Colorado where their lab is located, I assume. It cost me $4.05 at the post office.

All of the new TRITON ICP lab tests include postage paid stickers to our lab in LA where they are tested. Turnaround times are extremely rapid.
