chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	I suppose so Dotsie....I hadn't been thinking of additional postage to foreign shores, both to and from. I guess we are lucky to have fifteen women involved. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

Eagle Heart Member Registered: 03/22/05 Posts: 4876 Loc: Canada	Actually, it's not just the card. For me, the postage is the real zinger. Here it costs $1.69 per card to send overseas and .96 per card to send to the US. That adds up. Despite having been brutally hit by the recent market slump, I could still afford to do the exchange, but only because we've cut down in other areas. E.g., hubby and I are not exchanging gifts this year (well, we're using our annual trip to Cuba as our Christmas gift to each other this year). I can fully understand how some people might not be able to stretch an already overstretched budget any farther right now.

orchid Registered: 01/21/07 Posts: 3675 Loc: British Columbia, Canada	Admittedly, EagleH this is the main reason I choose not to be on the card exchange: the cost to mail outside of Canada. _________________________ http://cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com/ (How cycling leads to other types of adventures, thoughts) http://velourbansism.wordpress.com

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	I sent all my boomer cards out yesterday. Cards sent across the pond cost 94 cents each to send. Don't think it's unreasonable, considering here it's 42 cents and rising. At the end of November, 2007, I mailed a box of gifts to Italy. Family received that mailing in March. I almost flipped my bippie! This year's Christmas package was sent to Italy via "Priority" mail. Shipping costs, cost almost as much as the contents.

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Its not too expensive when simply sending something like a card or letter but OMG, the cost of sending a gift is way high. I still do it though because those are my Boomer sisters across the pond and worth every cent. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/
