hehe its been out for years with Canada Post

Many post office are ignorent & don't advertize things like they should. I had random things displayed at my post office & changed them once a month. But the picture stamp was one thing I had all year round up, as its very popular

I just received a Thank You letter with one of the stamps. It's of Cashew's birthday party. Below is her photo too.
The envelope is made from old calendars. My friend karyl, Cashew's Mom, makes lots of these. They are wonderful.

My Mom gets me these sometimes. I have some with Muskwa, some with Glacier & Pete and some with me hugging Hoodoo.

If you are ordering Canadian ones, remember that the price of a stamp goes up to 51 cents on Monday, January 16.

The value of the photo stamp is whatever the current value is.. if you look at the stamps there is no value on them. The same goes for any canadian stamp or stamped envelope. if there is no value on the stamp its whatever the curent value is. I have 3yr old prepaid envelopes & they are good forever. I got them at .49 & if the value ever gets to 5.00 its still good & doesn't need more stamps

There are some 1997 blue jay stamps & they have no value on them & they are still being used today (at the cuttent value) .

Dang I learned WAY too much the 3yrs I ran the post office.. get out useless information, get out!

Good to know. Thanks. They were still trying to sell me 50 cent stamps yesterday at the post office here! Apparently they wanted me to come back and buy one cent stamps next week.

they aren't suppose to do that. They are to suppose to tell you that the stamps are going up on *whichever date* & let you decide which ones you want to use.

They MUST have a sign up stating the value is going on up *whichever date*. Its usually a TP stype sign (it was the past 2 years).

If they try to sell you an old stamp (without the penny stamp) REPORT THEM! I ran into SOOO many customers coming to me asking when it went up, or I noticed they had old stamps & they said they bought them lst week or the daybefore & its been weeks to months after the stamps went up! There was a reason why I was one of the busiest postal outlest going. I had people traveling 20km just to go to my postal outlet

My outlet was known for NOT screwing customers & telling the truth 100%.

I reported nearly 10 shops last year who screwed customers over

My Canada Post reo was NOT happy about it, as it makes customers angry & use the postal office less & less

Canada Post is a good company, its the stupid outlets that don't care & piss everyone off

Edit: Forgot, they MUST let you buy the new stamps starting (usually around jan 1st). Were you able to buy the .51 stamps? if not let me know, I might not work at the PO anymore, but I still have MANY friends in the PO & in Canada Post (a well known Manager heheh)
