Oh no! I totally didnā€™t realize what day yesterday was and forgot to send in my signups. At least I know that Iā€™m on track for next year! Ha! They wonā€™t go bad!

I ordered some stamps on the 19th from the post office in anticipation of this swap. They were supposed to be delivered yesterday, but the tracking shows that they just arrived at some regional processing facility earlier today.

I guess I was expecting them to come from a postal center within my own state, but they shipped from Missouri, which is quite a ways away. I hope they get here soon so I can get everything sent off!

Eh I went to the post office today to post my cards and AustPost wanted to charge me over 13 dollars per card! I am now at home trying to find a smaller envelop so that it will only be 3 dollars to send the cards!

Iā€™m almost finished with messages - hope to put these in the mail tomorrow or Thursday.

yikes! hope you can make a different envelope work

I know in the US envelopes need to be 5"x7" or smaller and addressed horizontally. if you do it vertical or have a square envelope or bigger than 5x7 the price goes up. Or if the envelope is lumpy or thicker than 1/4"

edit - 6x9, not 5x7

Also, you can send up to 3 oz to Canada with a single international stamp, but it looks like if you go over an ounce when sending anywhere else it requires extra postage (and the extra ounce forever stamp will not cover the extra ounce if youā€™re sending out of country - Iā€™m very glad I looked into that because I wouldā€™ve hated to have the card returned due to insufficient postage!).

Iā€™ve sent both of my international cards and am still waiting on my stamps to send domestically (they should be delivered today).

I was told I could send 3 oz for 2 global stamps as long as itā€™s paper and flat. so far that has worked but I have only done that to the UK
