For three dollars I bought a sleeve with four stamps commemorating the anniversary of the song Take Me Out To The Ballgame. I collected stamps as a child and love baseball.
What I don't think the seller noticed were the 41 Forever stamps behind the four commemorative stamps. At current postal rate these stamps are worth $33.62. My partner is flabbergasted at how I saw this on a bargain table.
This profit is more than I spent today in total. #Brimfield #postage #stamps -

Not an expression of republican sentiment - but a pen cancellation of a #postage #stamp by #RoyalMail #Chelmsford - maybe because the sender used an odd shaped envelope - it is from one of our service users who pays by cheque, they tend to be seniors who still use notepaper and writing cases!
When I worked at RM there were hand stamps for this if the sorting machine didn't auto cancel the stamps. but they have likely been abandoned to save time and costs post privatisation, and RM don't want the stamp being reused, especially at £1.80 a time!

Anyone else use Stamps.com and having issues with their site? They obviously pushed an update, since the site has a new design, and it’s not working properly.
I can’t print stamps for any country but the US and can’t get the package postage to work properly inside the US either.
I also can’t get their help window to open either.
I swear, every update they’ve pushed has made the site actively worse.

So nice of DPD to keep me informed by means other than the tracking site that there's a 24hr delay to my parcel delivery. Oh wait, they didn't.

"Price of 1st-class stamps has DOUBLED in last 4 years"
Do you have to hand a note of the change in the number of First Class letters in the last 4 years?
I feel there may be fewer, and if the number of letters is, say, halved, then the cost of the important service will not be reduced by nearly so much. -

I’ve started listening to Rachel Syme’s book, Syme’s Letter Writing, on audio. And not only is she a charming narrator, but I do believe she’s written a sort of “manifesto” that I can get behind!
“But letters still serve a vital purpose, which is that they exist to mock the very idea of efficiency. They require slow, gear-crunching effort on both ends, for the writer and for the reader and for the many hands responsible for transporting the envelope in between the two. Letter writing is a time consuming rebuke to a world that tries to optimize every activity into a seamless slipstream, and there is joy to be had once you fully embrace the medium’s outdated extravagance.”
and
“The truth is, nobody has to write letters anymore. We are all hilariously reachable, and yet the last place anyone thinks to find us is inside our mailboxes. Snail mail’s reputation has become that of an intrusive junky nuisance at worst and, at best, a cringy affectation for people who think they are Jane Austen. But what if we just decided to do it anyway?”
This book is speaking to my soul. We’re inundated with “faster & more efficient” all the time, creating “tools" to cram in more and more stuff.
But slow living, unplugging to reconnect… Those are things experiencing a renaissance. People are leaving social media in droves. Maybe it’s okay to sometimes enjoy the process of communication instead of its expediency?

I just want to put out there that there are real strong virtues to writing letters and sending greeting cards that aren’t necessarily “present” in emails.
• They get you off line.
• They help you craft thoughts carefully and purposefully in ways email can’t because you have to manually write it without “deleting” it.
• They’re fun to receive.
• They physically exist and will continue to do so if collected and cared for even after you’re dead.
• They can be pretty if that’s your intent.
• They’re more personal and meaningful than email because you took the time to engage in the process of penmanship on paper instead of typing it out.
I highly suggest trying the art of correspondence someday. Because it can be just that if you let it. Try unplugging and decompressing with a nice pot of tea and your favorite pen & stationery. Try contemplating a rough outline of what you want to say or include. Then simplify.
Maybe do some fun doodling on the paper. Make it an extension of yourself that you’re sharing.
Enjoy it.

🎨 In a groundbreaking revelation, we learn that elitist art #snobs are now drooling over digital #postage stamps! 🤦♂️ With all the pomp and circumstance of a royal gala, we're introduced to 10x10 pixel canvases that scream, "Look at me, I'm an expensive blue square!" 🙄 Bravo, you've truly redefined what it means to have too much time and money. 💸

Hmm, one would think that senior leadership at #CanadaPost would be doing everything they can to woo back customers. But no, instead they proceed with a 25 percent increase on stamps. #postage #mail #Canada #canBiz

Call for action as Scots fork out £44m on delivery surcharges
Richard Lochhead, the Scottish Government’s Business Minister, raised concerns that “like the #Tories before, #Labour have failed to recognise just how prevalent and significant an issue this is for many people in Moray and across the north of #Scotland”.
Example: #Scottish shopper faced with £1000 delivery surcharge – for £75 chair
