Postage Stamps (bulk)

Tragus on 28/08/2015 - 18:59

I spend $50-$100 a month on postage stamps as I like to stick them all over my body have a few online stores.

Can anyone think of a way which I can get a discount? Maybe through a combination of discounted gift cards and/or other deals? I rate myself as an astute ozbargainer but I cannot think of a good snaffle.

Thanks!

    Buy them now , soon they will be $1.

      And you'll need to then pay $1 - so you'll have to buy additional stamps to make up the value.
      The only way around this is the prepaid envelopes at Aus Post that don't have a value stamped on them.

      Sarcasm I hope

      I heard newspapers were going up in price so I went out and bought as many as possible.

        I did the same.
        I also heard public transport is going up so I loaded an extra $10,000 on my Go card

    buy them on ebay.

    I bought $70 of stamps for $49 delivered.

    they were old stamps (from the mid 80s) but unused so perfectly good

    here's a current auction for mixed value stamps

    Auspost doesn't do bulk discounts. I used to send a lot of Christmas and postcards and the only discount you get is the $0.05 discount on domestic Christmas card stamps in December only.

    Gumtree or eBay, mate!

    If you're sending at least 300 at a time, there may be ways. Of course, this is for letters. I'm thinking you just want stamps for parcels?

    Buy them on pay wave and get 5% off with the right card.

    OK, I'll let you in a little secret. People who regularly open mail as a job keep the stamps that don't have the postmark on them. Steam them off and reuse again.

    Just find someone who opens mail and tell them you collect stamps ;-)

    Thanks, a lot of good suggestions.

    Rather than used stamps, I am after 70c stamps in particular. The only large retailer I know which sells stamps is officeworks. I could get 5% of with a coles Gift Card. Can anyone think how i can bundle this with something else?
