My wife does a lot of letter writing / pen pal stuff
Are there any decent discount on postage stamps
some standard letter / overseas letter
thanks in advance.
these seems to be ok @ 20% discount for international stamps ?

90 cents for $1.10 stamps from a stamp seller
Any other places to get stamps ~ 10- 15% off?
Some sellers seem to be selling ones that have been posted but not marked so technically can be used again
would be good if on concession :(
My Nana has her own "eBay store"…
…that sell these concession stamps?
@Zachary: With a free Australia Post Concession account, you'll pay just 60c per stamp, instead of $1.10. You can buy up to 50 stamps per year
not really worth it if you can only buy 50 stamps per year :)
@NotJustChickenDinner: wasnt aware there was a limitation…..thought you could buy as many stamps as you want….but i guess it still beats paying $1.10….noncession….
…wait i remember stamps costing a lot less than that…..have they recently jacked the prices of stamps….?
Tell your wife to tell her addressees to keep unfranked stamps and send it back to her and she does likewise.
I’ve been finding that recently, a lot of the smaller packages I’ve been purchasing from eBay, the stamps are never actually stamped and can be reused.
Write letter, scan it, email it
Write the letter with your own address on the front and the address you want to send it to on the back under sender's address. Don't put any stamp on and post it. It'll get "returned" to the person you want to send it to :)
(no idea if that would actually work)
well it should work since u didnt pay for postage so would naturally return back to the sender…..if there is a senders address….no idea what happens if there is no senders address….maybe thye just have to send it to the sendee address instead since thats the only address they have?
Look for stamp sellers on eBay. Normally you’ll need to bid at an auction but the final prices for easily collectable stamps is often 20% or less below their face value.
I'm not sure if the free gift is still stamps, but worth a shot
