According to the USPS web site, the minimum surface mail rate to UA  
is now $6.00 US for up to 16 ounces (454 g).  If one is sending 7 oz.  
or less, it is less expensive (and much faster) to use Airmail Letter  
Post at $0.84 per oz. (28 g.)  I just weighed nine cards plus an  
envelope and still came in under one ounce.
