Rod, that's awful.
Does the "AU" prefix mean that it's custom-printed for Australia?
As far as I know, there are 2 manufacturers in North America, one in the US and one in Canada. I'm assuming that no one manufactures locally in Australia? What do dealers there do? How does one present large quantities of lower-value stamps at shows?
I can get them at a good rate here (per 1000), but the shipping would kill any advantage, I'm sure. (But I'll weigh and check.)

A box of 1000 weighs 3lb-6oz or 1.5 kg (including the box that holds them).
Per USPS site, US to Australia would be ~$35.00. (Yikes!) Looks like if one could rearrange them to fit in a small flat-rate box, postage would be ~$24.00.
Purchase price of box of 1000 would be about $32 before shipping from the US manufacturer. (Know anyone flying back from the US. Would be easy to stick in checked luggage.)

Cheers Dave, will have to put that on hold, and skerrick around Australia for them. Just had an ebay quote $42 shipping for 750 cards US. Looks like back to envelopes.  The AU is the code reference on the card. Produced in Canada I think. |
