Stacey @xstitcher (38999) • Petaluma, California 5 Jun 25

Before noon I went to put something in the mailbox, and happened to check my mailbox for the heck of it. There was mail in there, and I was surprised it was so early. Once in a Blue Moon that happens. One of the things that...

I'm confused!

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 18 Apr 23

Years ago, Royal Mail used to issue special editions of postage stamps every month. There would be a theme, and a different design for each of four or more prices, including the usual first and second class. Then, some years ago,...

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29410) • Eugene, Oregon 26 Mar 23

I read a post by @shaggin asking if you have bought a book for yourself lately. I told her about a couple of websites I use since I am addicted to buying books. One is abebooks.com, where new or like new books can be bought for $3...

Bugs Bunny Forever Stamps

CarolDM @CarolDM (203396) • Nashville, Tennessee 5 Mar 21

Received an item in the mail today with the cutest Bugs Bunny stamp. Funny thing, it was not stamped by the post office. Somehow it got through the system without the stamp. So I peeled it off and decided to keep it. Just because...

The British Season

DINNERLADY @lazydaizee (6732) • United Kingdom 17 Feb 21

I found this book in a charity shop and I brought it because the cover caught my eye. The image on the cover of this book is actually taken from a British postage stamp that was printed in 1994. In fact this book was inspired by a...

Unreasonable price rise for British postage costs

Koalemos @Asylum (47893) • Manchester, England 26 Mar 17

Britain’s Royal Mail has one of the highest postage costs that I have ever encountered, but it is rapidly becoming worse. Every year the price of mail increases, which is really to be expected. However, the price increase seems to...

Do You Think The Cost of A Postage Stamp is High?

Alice Henry @IreneVincent (15960) • United States 16 Jan 17

In recent years, postage has gone up several times, but it’s still very reasonable when you compare it with what it used to cost to send a half-ounce letter by Pony Express. For a “fast” delivery of approximately eight days, from...

Koalemos @Asylum (47893) • Manchester, England 17 Jun 16

Several Mylot members have discussed postcard collecting and also shown a great interest in the various stamps used on them from other countries. As a result I make a point of acquiring actual stamps when sending a postcard. This...

The Most Obnoxious Postal Customer

Jeanne Marie @Jeanniemaries (8237) • United States 27 Apr 16

I was reading about @Asylum observing his postal workers fumble over a few calculations just because he stepped away from the norm by asking for stamps rather than a printout of actual postage. It threw them into a tizzy. It...

Christmas stamps in April?

Koalemos @Asylum (47893) • Manchester, England 27 Apr 16

While at the Post Office today I queued to buy stamps from the counter rather than use the printed equivalents that the machines issue. This proved to be quite amusing. When I told the assistant that I wanted £4.75 in stamps...

Finally Sold a Book on Amazon!

patgalca @patgalca (18481) • Orangeville, Ontario 23 Dec 15

But I am less than thrilled about it. Amazon charged the customer an estimated amount for shipping. An estimated amount that turned out to be half of the actual standard postage price. Know what that means? Not only did I not make...
