So I still have a large number of 60 cent stamps, the cost of posting letter has increased from 60 cent to 70 then $1 now.
So what can I do with my remaining stamps?
They used to sell 10 cent and 70 cent stamps, (so people could use 60 + 10 combination in the 70 cent time).
But now only $1 one is available.
When I send $1 letter I'll waste 20 cents, when I send $2 letter I'll waste 40 cents?
I do still send many letters for eBay goods in $2 letter.
Never know you can, true?
buy 40 cent stamps
They don't sell 40 cent I think
My local PO sells all sorts of stamp denominations, including 5 & 10 cents.
Did you ask your local PO?
This.
Ok, will try
Do you have the same problem when you want to make a payment of $20 but you only have $10 notes?
Slightly irrelevant. More like buying something worth $100 with only $60 notes (I know that doesn’t exist) and the store has a policy of not giving back change
Paste 1 and 2/3rds 60¢ stamps to get $1. :)
What Super Kami Dende wrote. They have all sorts of denominations because not all letters cost multiples of $1 to send.
Wait until postage jacked up to $1.2, not too far away I reckon!
How many do you have?
Might be 300
Just go back to post office and get them swapped over would probably be the best way. I suspect though that because the post office cant use them they won't take them back. They might have smaller amount stamps to make it up. Go to a larger city post office not small independent one. Who posts letters anyway anymore. That's alot of stamps.
u can buy 40 cents of stamp
when the price went from 50 to 55 or something like that, they sold 5 cent stanmps
Wait, what…
Posting a letter is now $1?
Just pay for the difference in the post office. Don't go out to buy a whole bunch of 40 cents stamps though (just in case you can use them all up before the price goes up again).
If you cannot work out a way to lose nothing (either through swapping back with post office; or buying a denomination of 40cents stamps to make up to $1) .
Then the option of least $$$ lost, would likely be to use the stamps on sending parcels. ie. You might pay 20 cents or 40 cents over, on a $10 parcel. 20 cents over on a $10 parcel, will be a much better ratio of loss, than 20 cents over on a $1 postage (would be paying $12 for $10 value in postage, at $1.20 x 10) .
Can't you sell them back at a post office?
