ARRL Outgoing QSL Service Announces New Rate Structure
TAGS: amateurs, arrl, cards, e-mail, questions
01/10/2011
Effective January 17, 2011, a new pricing structure will go into effect
for the ARRL Outgoing QSL Service. With the new rate structure, amateurs
will no longer need to count outgoing cards and then guess as to what to
pay based upon a half-pound rate; a simple weighing of the cards is all
that is necessary to determine what amount to send to the Bureau. This
new structure also accommodates a small rate increase in response to
recent postage, shipping and handling costs.
The last rate revision for the Outgoing QSL Service was in January 2007.
Even though international shipping costs have remained flat over the
last 4 years, domestic shipping costs have risen more than 16 percent
since 2007, while material and handling costs continue to climb 1 to 2
percent each year.
The new rate will be:
* $2 for 10 or fewer cards in one envelope.
* $3 for 11-20 cards in one envelope, or
* 75 cents per ounce, for packages with 21 or more cards. For
example, a package containing 1.5 pounds -- 24 ounces, or about 225
cards -- of cards will cost $18.
If you have any questions concerning the ARRL Outgoing QSL Service or
the rates to use the service, please send them via e-mail to buro@xxxxxxxxx
