I have an envelope with stamps on it but it was never mailed. If I cut them out can I tape them on another envelope?

use glue instead of tape

A much easier and cleaner way might be to just cut them off with a scissors then to glue them on to the next envelope you plan on using them for. You can just use those envelopes to mail off your bills as well you know. Just write in the address, and enclose your check and payment stub. I know it is not quite exactly what you were asking, but mine is a far better solution than trying to get a sticker backed stamp off an envelope in one piece.

Yes, or you can soak the paper in warm water. The stamps will stay together, but the paper will peel off.
As long as the stamp has not been stamped-over by the post office, it is still a valid stamp, with or without the original glue.

yeah, iused to steam them off, for my collection, i dont know if that is good or bad for them, but they did come off, and then you could glue the unused ones back on. Tell the guy who says it is a waste of time just go out and buy more that he has a horrible attitude, and no wonder he has to go work he probably carries that over to everything he does.

Just put a label on it and use the envelope

Yes. But it isn't worth the time to reclaim 40 cents. Just buy more. In my book, I would be losing money if I spent the time to cut out stamps, since I could be working instead and in 5 minutes earn much more, so by cutting out the stamps I lose money. Unless you consider it fun/entertaining, in which case go for it.

No I was always told that this was a violation of federal law...Maybe try to put an address label on the envolope over the address that is currently on there.

Yes, as long as they have not been postmarked and cancelled by the post office, they are still legal.

Yep, I've done it.
