Subject:November 2015 DX news and specials

Dear Customer,
Below are specials for November 2015.

If you need a current stamp list or supply list, I can mail or email it to you.

NEWS: Check Out the bigger and super cheap new Grab Bag postage offers!!

IDEA: Here's an envelope combo idea that I didn't consider. 100/100 European envelopes made up with a 50/50 airmail mailers and returns combo & a 50/50 plain mailers and returns combo for $22.00...That's a good mix.

NEW RATE: Iceland increased their rate recently. It's now 240 ISK for 50g, up from 230 ISK. No problem tho as Iceland forever stamp covers this increase.

NEW PRICES:

IN STOCK AGAIN: Argentina, Brazil.

STAMPS ON BACK ORDER: Fiji, Russia (order posted 3rd week of October), Slovak Rep., UAE.

U.S. DISCOUNT POSTAGE DEALS!!

Save Big on your domestic mailings when you plaster
