rising postage, buy some stamps!

Filed Under mail, resources | 2 Comments

Have you got zines you’re waiting to mail? Don’t procrastinate — new rates for First Class mail go into effect on April 17. The cost of a 1 oz. letter is staying at 44 cents, but pretty much everything else is is increasing. Here’s our updated U.S. Postal Rate Chart.

Speaking of stamps, with our excitement about 2011: The Revenge of Print, I decided to make some custom stamps to celebrate! Don’t they look awesome? Would you like to have some? I ordered a few extra sheets, and I’m willing to share them (at cost). PayPal $7.50 for 1/2 sheet (10 stamps) or $15.00 for 1 sheet (20 stamps) to zineworld@gmail.com; be sure to include your mailing address! If there’s a lot of interest, I’ll order some more (which could drop the per-sheet price).

(While you are at PayPal, consider making a donation to Zine World — your donations help us cover extra expenses such as website hosting, PO Box rental, mailing zines to reviewers, and sending zines to prisoners. Every extra dollar helps!)

Also, we’ve updated our list of Recommended Distros & Stores, so you can see what zine-selling outfits our readers recommend and who’s got Zine World for sale. If your favorite distro is absent from the list, we’d love to get a recommendation from you. If you run a distro and you’d like to have it included in the list, send us your distro’s name, website, mailing address, and a one-sentence description. Email comments to wordofmouth@undergroundpress.org. (Interested in selling Zine World in your distro? Visit our distribution page for info.)
