At Snail Mail Friends, you can set a weight limit for your mail swaps to help manage postage costs. Going over this limit is up to you of course, but not necessary.

We know snail mailing can be expensive because of high postage rates.

I'd like to know how much you pay to send mailbox packages, especially for the weights caps of:

  • 100 grams,
  • 350 grams.

Can you share the prices for your country?

 

For the Netherlands 🇳🇱:

Buspakje fits the mailbox.

Zonder = without and Met = With tracking

Verenigd Koninkrijk = UK

Verenigde Staten = USA

In Australia, we don't have weights as such. We have a small letter and a large letter. The small letter can not be anymore than 5mm thick and 130mm x 240mm in size. Large letters are 260mm x 360mm (in size) and can't be more than 20mm. There is a weight, but due to the thickness of the envelope, I've found that this is never a factor. Small letters can't be more than 250g and large letters 500g.

We have 5 postal zones, so pricing for both small and large letters can vary.
