asnailmailer Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 At least to Australia, you can do it cheaper via surface mail / international economy, and make sending a letter / postcard to Australia cheaper than to Europe! ! Link to post Share on other sites

That is true and buying postage online is a little cheaper £3 for a parcel instead of £3.20 Link to post Share on other sites
Dione Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 International standard letter is £1.70 worldwide economy is £1.24. Buying mint and valid stamps on ebay is cheaper especially if you buy E or WW versions that can be used even after postal increases. Link to post Share on other sites
abstract49 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Any letter bound out of the US and its territories is $1.20; that can be to Canada or Mexico, or Singapore, New Zealand, wherever. Don't ask me for the British pound equivalent, because I have not been keeping up with exchange rates lately. I have compared the postage on some of my British and European writers' letters to me in the past, and it appears that it is more expensive for them to write to me than the other way round.
