Which Way Do Stamps Go?

The stamp or postage is placed in the upper right-hand corner of the envelope.

Which way do forever stamps go?

Put the stamp on the top right corner of the envelope. Make sure it is in line with the return address on the top left corner of the envelope. Do not cover or obscure the return address or the receiver address with the stamp.

Is it OK if a stamp is upside down?

Getting creative with the stamp's orientation doesn't really matter, either. ... An upside-down stamp might mean the sender loves the recipient, while a sideways stamp could have indicated they were being relegated to the friend zone.
