The 2008 CS Christmas Card List - Discussion

[One-Fang]

Well if it helps, I count 5 Canadian names, just over 50 American, and about 65 in total, in this year's list. Find out your local postage rates, do the math, and you'll be able to have a rough idea.

You're forgetting the one in South Africa (92 cents) and the two in New Zealand (ditto price).

Stamp to Canada was 72 cents, I think.

[Evil Queen]

I believe it was, yes. But price of stamps are going up in April.

[iradney]

All my stamps were 5 bucks...in dollars I think that's about 50 cents

[Evil Queen]

Whoa.... I wanna go to South Africa now! It's cheap!

Guess who just found a box this week with Christmas Cards in it she meant to send out long before she moved? Yeah, that's me. I will mail them this week... Yes, Christmas in MARCH.


I'm a tard.

I believe I spent over $70 Canadian.
My Canadian stamps were the ones with no price on them, but when I bought them a few months before, they were just over 50 cents.

Do you have postal rate changes like we do here in the US? Ours have went up in just a couple of years (or so it seems) from 41 to 44 cents each.

I'll take a guess and say I spent around $45 for postage (that's just an estimate) this past year. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the rate goes up again on us.

But it's all good. And next year's signup will be coming around before we know it.

I hadn't spent that much on postage but then I think it's because I used some forever stamps on some of mine.

And your right it is in a few years, last may was when it went up to .42 a stamp. And then two cents up higher this year to cover the costs that were losing from the loss of mail. Gotta admit tho, .44 cents to get a letter from the tip of Maine to the edge of Hawaii isn't bad. Wish I could fly that cheap.

Goes up may first.

Ahem - 5 bucks each...so about 51c each then...the stamps were actually the most expensive part.

[Rapscallion]

It's nearly the end of March - unstickied.

Why am I not surprised? Did anyone hear how much they're supposed to go up this time?

[Evil Queen]

NPR.org says it's going up a penny.
