You can usually buy regular postage stamps in several everyday places besides the post office, both in-person and online. Many of these spots sell standard Forever -type stamps, often in books or rolls.

Fast in-person options

These are the most common places people can get stamps locally:

  • Grocery stores and supermarkets (often at the customer service desk or main checkout).
  • Big-box retailers such as Walmart and some warehouse clubs like Costco, usually at the service desk or money center.
  • Pharmacies and drugstores (for example, chain pharmacies often keep booklets of stamps at the register).
  • Office supply stores such as Staples or Office Depot, selling books or coils of USPS stamps.
  • Some banks and ATMs that offer stamps as an add‑on service.
  • Certain gas stations, convenience stores, or mini-marts near you that keep stamp booklets behind the counter.

If you are unsure, ask at the customer service desk or checkout; many stores sell stamps but do not display them openly.

Online ways to buy stamps

If you do not need the stamps immediately, online options are flexible and often have more designs:

  • The USPS official website, which sells standard and themed stamps and mails them to your address.
  • Large online marketplaces such as Amazon, where you can order rolls or sheets of USPS postage.
  • Office‑supply websites and other postage vendors that ship books and coils of stamps.

When buying online from non‑USPS sellers, make sure you are purchasing genuine USPS postage, as counterfeit listings occasionally appear on marketplaces.
