I don't want to pay for it until I use it. Fred was stunned. Well, after a hearty laugh, Fred explained to this fellow that we sell postage credits. A postage credit includes an envelope and one ounce of postage which we provide at the rate of 50 cents per postage credit. We do not offer to set up credit accounts.
Subscribers buy the postage credits which are then applied to the subscriber's account.
As mailings are made, the cost of postage credits used is deducted from the postage credits on hand. This balance is reported to our subscribers in the upper left corner of our envelopes near our return address. Card Volume Increasing Probably a result of the recent upswing in solar activity, the volume of foreign cards received by the Second District QSL Bureau has been increasing noticeably. At the lowest part of the sun spot cycle, we handled approximately one-half million QSL cards per year. At the peak of sun spot activity, the load doubles.
