Postage Cost of Greeting Cards

Christmas and New Year's Day are approaching, and now most people no longer send paper greeting cards, but send emails or send blessings via WeChat. However, some people still need to send greeting cards overseas due to special needs, but find that the price of different mailing methods is 10 to 20 times different, and some mailing methods cost nearly 200 yuan. Then, do you know how to handle the procedures for mailing the International New Year's Card?

"I sent a greeting card, and I didn't expect it to cost 189 yuan, which was a shock!" said Mr. Xu, the citizen. He didn't have the habit of sending greeting cards, but friends sent them from the United States these days. He felt it necessary to write a greeting card by himself and send it back to his friends to show his sincerity, so he sent a greeting card by international express. Unexpectedly, the courier told him after receiving the parcel that the fee was 189 yuan, which shocked him. Although the price exceeded his expectations, Mr. Xu chose express delivery in the end, considering the poor timeliness of ordinary mail and the easy delivery.

Send greeting cards overseas, depending on which channel you choose. If you use the four major express delivery, it usually costs 150 yuan to 200 yuan to send to the United States, and the price after discount is about 150 yuan. If you choose EMS, the price will be around 100 yuan after discounts from major customer channels, and it will be much more expensive to deliver it directly to the post office. If you send ordinary plain letters, which are the oldest ones, starting at 6 yuan, the higher ones are only tens of yuan. But if you choose this, your friends may not receive it after waiting for 10 days and a half. Relevant people said that it is recommended to send greeting cards or choose express delivery.

In addition, the staff of the postal department also stated that the postal channel has a special "sending international greeting card" service. It is different from ordinary international mail service, and the price is very low. The minimum stamp of 3 yuan (land and water) or 4.5 yuan (air) is enough. However, it has corresponding regulations, and the postal department stipulates that all types of paper cards that are printed in printing, have no communication content, and are used for congratulations are within the scope of international greeting cards.

It is worth noting that international greeting cards are sent through postal channels. Note for writing: Only five words used in etiquette are allowed on the International New Year Card, such as "happy new year", "good luck", "good luck" and so on. It is not allowed to add any communication content, otherwise it should be sent as a letter. The cover of the envelope should be written in French, English, or a language well known to the destination country. For example, in languages other than French or English, the destination country and city name should also be added in Chinese or French and English.
