I just received this on a large envelope today.
No stamps, no meters or postal markings.

Can anyone explain?

The marking indicates that first class, or priority postage was paid for worldwide delivery, I believe. So, it is a stamped meter, rather than one printed on a separate piece of paper.

As a stamp collector, I'm always a little disappointed not to receive stamps on a letter or parcel from overseas.

Is the message in the square box promoting stamp collecting or is this a servicing message? Ironic, if it's the former.

I think the message is a promotion of stamp collecting. Yes, it is quite a weird slogan to be putting on a printed meter. It's the old "don't do as I do, do as I say" routine.

It doesn't show it in the picture but it is a gummed label.
It clearly says collect & stamp in English on it.

There was another label hidden under the Prior label
