Stamps
 
I know you all love some price comparisons on here

Another thing that is now cheaper here than in UK, which considering the relative distances involved is quite remarkable :thumbup:

I was thinking the same thing myself, one of the few things cheaper here. I cant remember the last time i bought a stamp, do people still send letters?

Its great getting letters. Proper hand-written letters are much more personal than an email or text. Send a letter to a loved one today - they'll love it

It might be great getting letters, my point is that very few people send them anymore. Even when i get forms sent to me they come through in an email. Im not saying it is good or bad but its just the way things are now.

You don't send christmas cards? Brithdays cards? Wedding/good luck/congratulation cards?

I do. I think a lot of other people do too.

I don't buy stamps anymore. www.l-mail.com and www.docsaway.com are great for the times when I do want to send letters/documents.

They are the only things I send by snail mail. Everything else is done electronically.

Email is becoming more appealing after the price hikes I have to say!

Another family member has for many years sent out Moon Pig cards which don't go down to well with other members of the family so looks like I won't get away with something like that :rofl:

It's kind of expected that you would say that when advertising your own company.
