Outgoing letters/お手紙発送

Thanks a lot for leaving your comments on my previous posting about my second fumi no hi give-away project. :)  So far 8 persons made their entry!  Nice!!

I sent out 2 letters and 2 packages on Monday, and they're traveling to my penpals in France, UK (X2) and USA.  I hope they will arrive at their destination soon. :)
It's always hard to find the right size of an envelope with bubble wrap inside.  The orange package in the picture looks huge, but the contents aren't that huge.  I just couldn't find the right envelope with bubble wrap, so I used a big one. :p  At least the postage doesn't change depending on how large the package is (it's based on the weight), I don't mind using a little bigger envelope though.

Have a nice day!

ふみの日プロジェクトには現在、世界中のお手紙好きさん8名の方がエントリーしてくれています。嬉しい限りです☆

さて、月曜日はフランス、イギリス(×2)、アメリカへ手紙とパッケージを発送しました。中身の大きさにぴったり合う、内側にプチプチがついている封筒がなかなかなくて、いつも中身に対して随分大きなパッケージで送っていいます。中身を出して『これだけ?』と思わないといいけど(笑)

皆様、よい一日を!

↓いつもありがとうございます。押していただけると励みになります☆

  1. I completely know what you are talking about. I almost never have the right size envelope, even for regular letters. And it drives me crazy xD

    1. I know! What drives me more crazy is that most of the letterset I can get here comes with smaller envelopes in which a postcard can't fit! And most of the time, my fat letter can't fit in either. :( I usually buy the bigger envelopes or just make some by myself. :)

  2. Hooooooo! In Mexico there are several sizes of envelopes with bubble wrap! Maybe 5 or 6 different sizes I think O.o!

    1. The stationary store near my place used to have good sizes of the bubble wrap envelopes, but they don't have them now. :( Hope they will come back! :D

  4. Are those Mickey stamps? OMG, they're gorgeous! O_O
    In Brazil, they charge based on the weight, but if the envelope is too big, the price increases too. u.u

    1. Yep, they're Mickey stamps. They came out few months ago, and I love them so much. ;) Oh, you have to be a little careful on what size of the envelope you use to avoid the extra charge. :p

    1. Here, if the thickness of the envelope is too fat, then you pay extra even though you are using the normal sized envelope. I sometimes enclose chocolates or candies together with my letter, and most of the time I put extra stamps which is OK because I still want to share my favorite sweets with my pals. :D

    2. yeap, it's like here too... if the weight it's over 20 grs then u can use whatever enveloppe u want, and u'll pay according to the weight,not to the standadd size.... seem it's similar, so.
