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 ."
