Good day!

Very few philatelic bureaus will actually use postage stamps on their mail, despite the fact that they are sending you stamps. My interest is in philatelic bureaus that still do.

Could you please augment my list below if you know of a philatelic bureau that actually use stamps on their mail to you?

Greenland
Guernsey
Iceland
Portugal (inc. Azores and Maderia)
Sweden


Perhaps such a list already exists, but I couldn't find it. If so, then please let me know.


Thanks

Can't help you I'm afraid but this jolted my memory to when the British Post Office used to include a card inside your order to which stamps to the value of postage required where attached & neatly cancelled. Those were the days my friend....

Falkland Islands Philatelic Bureau, which also handles British Antarctic Territory and South Georgia & The South Sandwich Islands.

Yes, the Falklands have used stamps, although the government has just outsourced the philatelic service to a local private company, and I haven't ordered since, so I don't know if stamp use will continue.

I can say that Trinidad & Tobago didn't use stamps on an order last year.

Israel does not use stamps, but does include CTO stamps in the package that they would have used to mail the package.

The Faroes, alas, do not, and so I stopped any further collecting from there. St Pierre et Miquelon though, do.
