Dear DXer,

*On Back Order:  *Italy, Guyana, Ethiopia, PNG.

*In Stock Again: *Portugal and Peru

*Price changes:  *Portugal now $1.70 down from $1.90
 Sweden now $2.30 up from $1.90 (new supply costing me more than the old
selling price!)
Peru now $3.00 up from $2.00
Colombia now $3.50 up from $2.75
 These last 2: Weak dollar even against these currencies, plus I am ordering
fewer each re-order and the posting and registration fees get spread out
over fewer stamps...

*Update "Peel and Seal" adhesive:  *We contacted our manufacturer...the cost
is way too high to consider. We would have to greatly increase the size of
our order (to a 5 yr.+ supply!), find storage space for them AND, increase
the selling price for the Euro. air returns to about $30 for 100 envelopes!
I'll have to pass on this. I don't think anyone would go for it anyway!
*We Will Keep Envelopes as "Lick and Stick" adhesive.*

*Here's an idea from one customer:*
**
He doesn't seal the mailing envelope and he gets a VERY nice return rate
too!

Hi Bill:
First, I make sure the flap tucks in the SASE and QSL so it cannot
fall out. If the thief works in the post office and opens a sealed
envelope he has to then smuggle it out and get rid of it. If its open
he either ignores it (who would put money in an open envelope), or
looks inside. When he sees nothing worth stealing, he just tucks the
flap back in or seals the flap and puts it back in the system,
doesn't have to run any risk in smuggling it out.

Thanks for checking for me on the Russia to Australia postage.
