It will be fine probably. I ship stuff with the wrong shipping occasionally and I’ve never had it come back.
Forever stamps are a great investment. I bought in at $.32. I’ve almost doubled my money.

the flaw here is that the USPS is quickly becoming irrelevant.
In a time where the UNITED STATES postal service( members who all carried guns[the term gun implies a deadly weapon whether a type or b,) were delivering postage across the country, the mail they delivered was the difference between wars or not. .
Now, the postal service are a group of people with such a diversified base and modern option(s) to use services outside of theirs that it soon becomes a dangerous career.
And now it's all quick on E markets, at your door type service. And now old guards are getting older and how will the new likes arrive, when all the stamps that were supposed to be worth something are worth either nothing, or something.
When one penny is worth one cent, what then?

I worked at the USPS part time through college. Forever stamps, came out in that period. I bought a hundred books and have about 50 left with internet everything. Great investment.
Edit: Also if you are a smidge off wait most USPS clerks will still stamp it, unless they are having a real shit day.

It was a joke. But I didn’t realize the forever stamps were such a recent invention.
