Postage Paid - Scout MailBy Hallvard Slettebø |
Mailers may be authorised to send mail without affixing postage if payment is made at the time of mailing, this payment may be from an advance deposit account. A postage prepaid article is an article which is imprinted with the words "postage paid" or words of like effect, or on which appears a postage stamp or a representation of a postage stamp. |
The amount paid as postage for prepaid products in some cases equal the amount that would have been payable on the article if it had not been impressed with a postage prepaid imprint. In some instances, a discount is achieved if more than a given number of articles are mailed at the same time. |
Items with postage prepaid by other means that affixing stamps are known from a number of Scouting organisations. Probably many more exist than those which are depicted here. Please inform the author at hallvard@slettebo.no if you can supply additional information. |
