Unusual change of postal tariffs - postcrossing meeting January 31,st - 2025

On 1st of February 2025 the Romanian Post will decrease the tariffs announced on 1st of January. As everywhere - also our post put a crazy price for postage of a simple postcard - in our case being even crazier - they put only one tariff for 0 to 2000 grams! So - during December 2024 I sent a lot of emails to them and had a lot of phone calls with their representatives. And we manage to obtain a small reduction - it is small but it is there - which is incredible!

During January 2025 we don’t know how many postcards were sent in Romania through postcrossing - the crazy postal rate being 20 lei (in December was 13 lei) - 1 euro = about 5 lei; for sure a lot of us waited for the new rate to come - and we will have empty slots.

So - is a thing to be (somehow) celebrated - being a totally unusual measure from a postal administration (probably worldwide)

Today I prepare also a special postcard for this meeting - showing more like a power point presentation - but … imagine that in 2016 the rate to send a postcard was 2 lei - and now is… 20 lei!


We will have a postcrossing meeting in Bucharest - to send postcards with decreased tariffs.

Here is the postcard prepared for that!
