How many stamps do you need to send a Christmas card to another country?

Omg, is it wrong of me to think that the URL is the cutest thing ever? ;) Posten.se - how very swedish of them :P hehe

Next question: How much does a Christmas card weigh?

lol! I'm sure they have an answer for that. If it's like a letter I'd only use as many stamps as a letter requires. Usually 5 SEK for in Sweden and the equivalent for abroad.

:P Well, it's the only post, so of course it's Posten. Like Systembolaget or Bilprovningen.

So you use one 5 SEK stamp when you send out of the country? Or?

lol. but still, Posten sounds to be like some cute teddy bear, almost. Or like something small... like an elf or a faerie.

Stamps for 10 crowns should do it. I think it's a lot for just one postcard though. :(

That's really a lot. Considering I also have to buy Christmas cards and I'm gonna send those to ten people. *le sigh* So I'm pretty much expecting the whole thing to go around 300 kr. Oh joy... ehm, I'm on my sarcastic mood today :P

Ouch, ten people outside of Sweden? I think the post office has special Christmas stamps that are cheaper than regular ones but I don't know if it applies only to mail in Sweden or international ones as well.

My sympathy is with you... I bought a present for my cousin in US for 50 crowns and sending it cost like 45. :P

I'm gonna attack the poor postal office with question.... oh wait, I just remembered that my town doesn't have a postal office *headdesk* damn cut-downs. Oh well, where you buy the stamps I suppose I can ask there.

Stuff like that sucks. And the sad thing is that I don't think I can afford it. I feel kinda evil.

I miss the old post office before they ICA-ed everything. When I was little I wanted to work there because of all the packages they had... never occurred to me that people who work there aren't allowed to open them. ;)

Maybe you could get cheaper Christmas cards or something? The stamps should be around 100 crowns if you send them to ten people... back when I used to send Christmas cards I bought very cheap cards for like 2 crowns each (Hey, it's the thought that counts :P)

lol. Yeah, that's true. But the thing is I don't know if where I live if we have 2 kr cards because here everything costs like 20 kr.

And I thought Stockholm was expensive... well, you could always be creative and make your own. We can always blame the Christmas capitalism, seems to be that stuff is getting more and more expensive. *remembers a time when sending a letter or postcard within Sweden only cost 2,50*

Yeah... Making my own would be nice but I have no material for it. Oh well, it would be at least cheaper than buying ;)

Omg, sending a letter that cheap? Oh my....

Oh, btw, I've just written a fan fic ;) Feel free to read it ;) I posted it in my LJ. I'm kinda childishly proud of it ;) It's pretty short.

Yep... back when we still had 10 öre coins.

Will check the fanfic out, first time reading a Narnia fic. :)

I guess you just ask for a international stamp or something when you buy it, I've done it a million times. It should cost like 5 or 10... (and it's only one stamp)

Hi, btw, if you dont have a lot of money to send cards, you can just send one card to me and [personal profile] affectations. Im totally okay with that.
