When I ship seeds to the states I just slap 2 Canadian stamps on it. Not the cheapest but it suits my laziness.

us and international stamps are a value rate, currently $1.30 and $2.71 if i remember correctly.

Only our “P” as in permanent domestic stamps can you use still when there is a rate change, the others you need to top up if its a lower value.

It just means I need to change my MO. “10 US stamps and 20 CDN stamps and 5 international stamps please.”

No big deal just a pivot.

Talk a belt of the rinds and pass it along.

They’re very good. Salty.

The slime is what makes it good.

Seriously though I can get good crackling’ around here but rinds are few and far between.

No they are not. We have permanent stamps which are like the US forever stamps that will not be affected but US and International will be. Buying a bunch of 5 cent stamps is not a big deal. My warning was more so folks knew and didn’t end up getting stuff returned for insufficient postage. Also, in my case, I went to but 2 rolls of 50 USA stamps today but after the postal lady warned me, I just bought 24 of them. That should cover me for a week. :crossed_fingers:

It uses a wood gasifier to clean up industrial wood waste. Even trolls can be green.

Alright then. That’s better. But it eliminates some witticisms I had at your expense.
