Kissamowse Karreds....

Not to worry Clarence, weze like sending cards to effuryone because weze
wantz to and Meowmie sayz shez fortunate shez can afford it. But shez doez
so because of the thought of the season, not because weze getz cards in
return. And Kissamouse is an ecumenical holiday for us hoomins not tied to
hoomin religions, after all, all cats honor Bast.

So card or no, snail or e-mail it doesn't matter at all. Just a furry Happy
Holiday of effury persuasion to Effuryone!

That sounds like a wonderful idea Uncle Adam for kitties not in the US.
Package mail should be cheaper then first class, least it iz in the US
anywayz.

I just had an idea, but it might be too late for this year. What if
someone
who didn't live in the U.S. were to address and seal their cards, then
send
all the U.S.-bound cards in one box to a friend in the U.S.? Then the
person in the U.S. could just put a 37-cent stamp on each card, which
sends
up to 1 ounce (28.4g) anywhere within the U.S., and drop them in any local
mailbox. The "foreigner" could also include some form of currency or
other
items with the box of cards to cover the cost of the U.S. stamps. Does
this
make any sense? Would this save any money?

Adam

Unca Adam does some arithmetic: Assuming someone in the UK prepared cards to
all 33 US addresses on the card list, and that each is not over 10g in
weight,

To post each individually is 33 @ 47p each = £15.51

To send them to one US address at Airmail "Letters" rate, allowing 30g for
additional packaging, is 360g costing £6.88. US postage for these would be
33 @ $0.37 each = $12.21 which is £6.90 (at $1 = £0.56446). £6.88 plus
£6.90 is £13.78 total.

Net savings would be £15.51 less £13.78 which is £1.73 (i.e.£1 14s 7d and a
farthing). If, for example, the sealed cards weighed an average of 7.5g
each, then postage to send everything to the US would be only £5.40 instead
of £6.88. The Airmail "Small Packets" rate would be even cheaper than this,
but I have no idea how long it would take. Also, instead of trying to
figure out how to send currency across the Atlantic, one could simply send
the American a nice Compact Disc instead, or any other agreed-upon item
worth roughly $12.21/£6.90.
