Janepie33 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Have just written my Christmas cards and need to pop out and get some stamps. Just checked the price of 2nd class stamps online and 53p seems rather steep, especially as I have 25 cards to post. I can see why people send e cards!

Beantree Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 €0.20 in France, so it is a ripoff Janiepie33. That's just 15p. Too many shareholders to payoff I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Sending a card within the Netherlands costs you €0,64 which is about 51p. We have special Christmas stamps though which are slightly cheaper. Still think it's a lot. Only a few years ago a stamp was only €0,34...

soapdragon Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I only send cards to old friends that we haven't seen for a while and always write a few lines to catch up. Still, this year have over 25 to send plus three smallish parcels (hoping they will fit through the slot to be large letters but may be small parcels at £2.80!!) All in all expect to pay around £15.00! Just for posting let alone the cost of cards/gifts/padded envelopes. Money is so tight at this time of year it would be nice for the Royal Mail to introduce slightly cheaper Christmas stamps. As a certain retailer says....'every little helps' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Christmas stamps are "only" €0,59. But when sending loads of cards, it does save some money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percy049 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I've only posted around 10 christmas cards due to the stamps being so expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
