I have been collecting the topic of SENDING WITHOUT STAMPS for a long time. Can I find out why one of the cards was sent without stamps?  |

The upper one was sent as printed matter (Drucksache). At the time postage was 3 Pfg.,so the recipient had to pay 5 Pfg.postage due (if I read the blue handwritten note correctly).
The second one was send as postcard,franked correctly with 8 Pfg.

The top one is an order form for a Futterkalk mixture. Not sure what the best translation is (lime feed?), but it's a food additive for animal feed.
The card instructs the buyer to underline the quantity they want, to be sent cash-on-delivery by the cheapest means necessary to the buyers address written at bottom left. The seller will also include 1 pound of marjoram pulp (a taste additive) for 60 Pfg.
One also has to assume that the printed matter card was designed to be sent postage due to the seller as well, as there's no place for postage (unless it's on the other side), and that would be consistent with the way the seller apparently handles shipment of goods (COD).
