Linns Letter Shortpaid To Canada

Heres a letter from my friend David Giles that was printed in the August 16 Linns..hope you do not mind David...i am afraid to shortpay to locations outside the U.S. that it may not get delivered !

surprising it happens so much..
People must think the forever stamp is good for locations outside the US.

It's a Forever stamp. Not a Wherever stamp.

And to think, I've been going to all the trouble of buying those pesky 75c stamps for my Canada addresses

Whatever.

Kirk, I make up for the where ever guys..i just slap TWO 44 cent stamps on mail to Canada !!

However... having said that, Canada has Wherever postcards valid Forever:

David Giles,
Nice letter David! Bravo.

Look after the small things and the big things take care of them selves. Or something like that.


Phil,
I used to do that, put two stamps on just so the rate was covered and my letter didn't 'get lost' to the US.

Now that I have tons of make up stamps from various sources, and selling online a bit, I do try hard to get the correct postage on. I have had one letter returned to me because most of the older stamps fell (were scraped) off for re-applying of sufficient postage (after 3 weeks) but that was grossly underpaid (not by me).

I have read somewhere in Canada Post's literature online that mail with insufficient postage might not get delivered at all so that scared me a bit. Not sure where it goes.

This thread made me wonder about David - haven't seen him around here lately. Perhaps a visit downtown tomorrow to see if he's well...

Yeh Pmac...where is David?

I saw David this morning and he's well. He simply stopped coming here in favour of another board with increased technical options, so he told me. I was glad to see him and pick up a nice maximum card with a Canadian Christmas stamp. It sounds like he's got some great stuff planned for our club this year, of which he is the volunteer President.
