Posted - 25 Jan 2011 : 05:13:03 AM Posted - 17 Jan 2011 : 09:22:11 AM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ARRL OUTGOING QSL SERVICE (New Rates). The ARRL announced that "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 USDs for 10 or fewer cards in one envelope. * 3 USDs 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@arrl.org ."
