My OH has just spent around $150, or about £70, buying the stamps for the approximately 100 cards we send out at Christmas. |

On reflection I don't think the cost of postage is that bad when you consider just what is involved in say sending a package abroad, |

I have just given 28 cards to a friend who is going back to England to post for me. They are all stamped ready to be dropped in the box. I just hope they arrive in time. I always ask visitors to bring me English stamps over. Last year I sent 42 so I have cut down a lot. If I had to send them all from here at 78 cents each I would only be able to send to my immediate family. |

I am afraid I have cut down this year on overseas cards . I used to send to Canada and the USA and Australia. Didn't always get cards from some I sent out even though they are still around so this year I didn't send to those ones . |

I sent a parcel last week to my son in the Philippines. The contents cost about £10 and the postage was £12. I also sent him Christmas cards from various people and they cost £1.88 each. |

True Graham it isn't, but it was just the hike in the price that caught me unawares lol. |

Didn't cards to Europe used to be the price of a UK 1st class stamp? |

£1.28 to send a card to the other side of the world doesn't seem to bad when you compare that to the cost of sending a card to somebody in the next town. ;-) |

at the cost of postage overseas :-0 :-0 £1.88 for a Christmas card containing an A4 letter to US, and £1.28 for just a card to NZ. It was a lot cheaper than that last year, and I thought last year was expensive ! |
