February 2008 - Specials from DX Stamp Service


Dear DXer,
February Specials are listed below.
Stamps on Back Order: French Polynesia, Slovakia, Mauritius
Countries in Stock Again: Spain, Italy, Croatia, Netherlands, Russia
New Prices for February : These price increases are the result of weak $ and strong foreign currency. They are costing me more now than when I ordered them last time.
Greenland $1.80
Aland $1.50
Czech Rep. $1.80
Faroes $1.80
Finland $1.50
San Marino $1.70
Vatican $1.70
Norway $2.50
Netherlands $1.80

Increase coming: UK rate will increase in April from 54p to 56p. I will begin supplying the 56p rate about mid-March. Usually, Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey increase their rates at this time. Those rates not available yet.

UPS P&I: New shipping rates beginning with orders on March 1st. January saw another annual UPS rate hike of 5% among other increases. Here are the new rates for shipping DX Supplies:
Orders to $20 add $7.50, order from $21 to $50, add $10; orders from $51 to $100, add $13; orders from $101 to $150, add $13.00; orders over $150, add 12%. ***Remember, when ordering stamps AND supplies, use the supplies total to determine shipping cost. Stamps "ride free" when ordering supplies***

IDEA!!! Will you need envelopes or QSL albums soon? Order them in February before the increase!!!!

73 and good dx,
Bill

Mint postage stamps of foreign countries can be purchased from Bill Plum's Airmail Postage and DX Supplies, 12 Glenn Road, Flemington, NJ 08822 USA.

Include a self-addressed-envelope for his current price list or request a price list via email at plumdx@msn.com . The prices represent Airmail rate to North America. Prices are subject to change without notice. No mimimum order via check, money order or credit card, but credit card orders under $ 15.00 will incur a $ 2.00 extra charge. Visa, MC, AMEX are accepted. Please include billing and shipping address for AMEX. Bill also has an email newsletter service of monthly specials, and email orders are welcomed!

Don't forget the DX supplies include European Airmail envelopes (European Air Return and European Air Mailer). These envelopes are perfectly acceptable for mailing to ALL parts of the world, not just to Europe. Their size insures you that a 4"x6" DX QLSs will not come back to you folded which could happen if you used small U.S. sized airmail envelopes. Bill's European Air Return fits into a European Air Mailer without folding. These two envelopes and up to 5 QSL cards weigh less than one ounce. The European Air Return and 2 QSLs weigh less than 10 grams. All envelopes are sealed in plastic for protection. Envelopes are packed 100 per size per package. The 5-/50 Combo comes in one package.

Eyeball cards, stateside QSLing nesting envelopes, QSL Card Albums and pages are also sold. Great service ... at a great price. Recommended by Shortwave Central, Btown Monitoring Post and Milcom Monitoring Post blogs.
