    Need Help with Canadian Stamps

    Hi guys,

    I'm about to start another TTM project and this time I need Canadian stamps. Letters of 50 grammes cost $2.68 CAD to ship internationally and I need 6 of such stamps (so the total amount is $16.08 CAD). If you're willing to help out, I'll pay for the stamps with PayPal and of course cover your shipping costs when you'll be sending the stamps to Denmark.

    The trade will be posted in the trade manager. Send me a PM if you can help. Thank you.

    -Ethan

    Just a heads up to you.
    The cost of your stamps will be 13% higher than stated as we in Ontario pay a 13 % tax on all purchases. I buy 1.34 cent stamps in books of 6. Says right on the book 8.04 but I pay over 9 once the tax is added. Kind of decieving and hasn't helped me in my ratings for shipping cost as I put 2 on the envelopes to the states and charge 3.50 for shipping. When they do the math of 2 x 1.34 they think I over charge but in reality the 2 stamps alone cost me just over 3 add in the fees and envelope , other supplies and I think I am being fair.

    Canada is also having a large postal rate increase in March I believe so it would be best for you to get this done ASAP

    Can you order stamps from the Canada Post website? Or is online purchase limited to Canadian customers?

    Thanks for this info. I appreciate it. Regarding the increase in rates in March: It's too bad, because by the time these players actually receive the letters and sign the cards and want to return them, it'll probably be past March 1st, anyways. I guess I'll have to buy more expensive stamps already now.

    Is there a list of the new prices as per the 1st of March?

    Can you order stamps from the Canada Post website? Or is online purchase limited to Canadian customers?

    I haven't signed up for a profile there yet, so I am currently unsure. I'll check.

    Canada Post will ship you stamps for $2.99. You can buy them on their website and you won't have to pay taxes since you're not in Canada.

    I would order straight through them, but wait until the new prices come into effect. It will cost you more, but at least you'll be 100% sure that you'll be providing sufficient postage.

    If you need help from someone in Canada on this, please don't hesitate to PM me.

    I'll sign up for a profile on Post Canada's website then. I'm glad that I don't have to pay taxes on the stamps, and I agree that it would be better to wait until the new prices come into effect.

    Thank you very much for your informative comment, it's much appreciated.
