Why 2 US $ AND a SASE ? Aren't 2 US $ more than enough? Why bothering to get JA stamps as well? |

Sorry I meant to say a Self Addressed Envelope. As for the $2, its what he
wants. He's in the driver seat as he has something you want and he most likely doesn't need what you have. Also the dollar is not what it used to be and many countries have raised the cost of international postage by allot in the last few years. Largely I suspect because e-mail has cut into the profits. -- John Passaneau, W3JXP State College, PA "Norb" wrote in message ... with 2 greenstamps and SASE Why 2 US $ AND a SASE ?

That's why I changed from direct to a manager in OK land. A US$ was not
enough to send more than one card in an envelope from here in Singapore. Many Asian countries are even more expensive. IRC's (old ones) are not good here any more although they should be. All a bit convluted but two green stamps is becoming the norm. However, I am also using LoTW and that's fast, and free for the DX station. 73 Bob 9V1GO |

Are there still issues with possession of US$ being illegal in some countries? (*which* countries?) Reportedly that's the case in India. Funny thing, though, for each VU I worked, I e-mailed the op and indicated that I didn't want to cause any trouble, and would he prefer I sent an SASE with mint stamps (my usual choice) or new IRCs -- and each one of them just asked for one Green Stamp, if I would be so kind. All cards received within 6 weeks, and this was two years ago now. I've never heard of that prohibition anywhere else. If P5 was still active, I might think it could be a problem there, but that's (sadly) a moot point.

Hi, Illegal probably not and even appreciate by intermediates, Hi ! Note about IRC and GS. In Australia or Canada an IRC pays only one third of stamping. That means that your dear addressee living in Queensland or Vancouver from whom you await the QSL direct by mail will have to pay from his pocket $1 or $2 additional. An economy-class delivery costs about $1.5 but the fastest answer, providing a less-than-one-week delivery costs about $2 in those countries. Here are all countries requesting 2 GS to send a QSL by airmail : 4L, 5A, CE0, CX, DL, EK, EP, HB, TI, UR, VE, VK, YB, ZS. In case of doubt about IRC do send GS.
