1 oz = 28 gram. In the Netherlands that is 2 international stamps. For 2 international stamps you can send between 20 - 50 gram. Should I send as close to 28 gram, or as close to 50 gram? (50 gram = 1,75 oz)

@taeinura that's a great question, I'd say send whatever is the equivalent to 1 international stamp.

That's not much :-( One international stamp is 0 - 20 gram ( = 0 - 0,7 oz)

I've always interpreted such guidelines as minimums. If you want to include more, you can. You just have to be willing to accept if someone else sends you less than you sent out, because they met but didn't exceed the minimum.

And perhaps more to your point @taeniura , if you're going to use 2 international stamps you might as well send as close to the maximum allowed for that many stamps (50 g instead of 28).
