Hi All,
I have a total of several thousand qsl's from contest qso's that I need
to send out to about 20 different country QSL bureaus. DL, EA, F, G, I,
JA, ON, SP, etc.
For countries where I have only a few qsl's I will mail them directly in
an envelope. But where I have a volume of qsl's for a particular
country (more than 50) I need a better alternative.
I know the addresses of the various qsl bureaus but I do not know the
most cost-effective way to send the qsl's direct. For example: The
present USPS rates for 4 lbs of qsl's mailed to Germany is ~ $48. I
have noticed some international delivery services like myUS.com that are
considerably cheaper but I have no idea whether they or other companies
are reliable. The ARRL Outgoing qsl bureau is $12 / lb (plus cost to
get them to the ARRL) which will be fine for the non-volume countries
but I'm sure that I can do better for the high volume countries.
I would appreciate any information that you can share on what
cost-effective and reliable services there are out there that you have
successfully used when sending boxes of qsl's overseas.
Tnx & 73
Bob, KQ2M
