CAN SOMEONE SAY TO ME, ALL THAT FINDS IT HARD TO RECEIVE A REGISTERED LETTER WITH 1 CARD TO 5 EUROPA'S CARDS FOR ISRAEL?
I THINK THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THIS SITUATION.
SOME OF THEM ASK FOR ADDITIONAL PAYMENT FOR REGISTERED LETTER FROM 2 EUROS TO 8 EUROS. I SUGGEST TO THESE FRIENDS, ORGANIZEN AN UNION FOR AGREES, ALL THAT TO CHARGE FOR REGISTERED LETTER.
I WANT TO SUGGEST ALL THOSE WHO BUY CARDS AND RECEIVE DOUBTFUL COLLECTIONS, WHICH LOOK AT THE PRICE OF THE POSTAL STAMPS, IN ORDER THAT THEY KNOW ALL THAT IS THE REAL COST FOR RECEIVING A REGISTERED LETTER AND IF THIS DOES NOT COINCIDE WITH WHAT THEY PAID, DENOUNCE THESE PERSONS WHO TAKE ADVANTAGE IN A NOT HONEST FORM.

For me to send a postcard in a packet to Israel NOT REGISTERED is £1.64 which is 2.07 Euros....that is the ACTUAL cost...on top of that you have to add on the cost of the packet (aprox 20p)

Now, registered (International Signed for) to Israel would cost £5.14, which is 6.48 Euros + packing costs....This is what it actually costs !

This is for postcards sent with added cardboard to strengthen so that the postcards don't get damaged

You may have a cheaper postage service in Israel than us, but you can see it's not always the sellers fault

I entirely agree with Karenswift about the cost of sending mail by Registered mail (Now for some reason called - To be Signed For )

In fact for UK sellers the situation is worse than K mentions, Britain does not use Euros, so the seller in UK will have to change those Euros into Pounds, which has its own cost.

You seem to want us all to agree on how much it costs to send a registered letter from "Europe" to Israel.

You must have noticed that all the different countries in Europe still have their own different stamps. It's not like the United States of America. This means that every country has its own Post Office and its own postal rates (tariffs).

It is not surprising that different senders ask for different costs.

Then of course the weight which they are sending will vary depending on how they pack it, and they will legitimately make a small charge for the packing --- in UK English, the total charge is for "post & packing" (known in the USA as "shipping"), not just for postage alone.

You would probably find that the rates charged even by sellers in Israel varies too; and certainly from Israel, Egypt, Jordan, the Lebanon and Syria it will be different.

A big difference between European countries is that some countries charge for "Europe" strictly speaking, while other countries have a "Europe and Mediterranean" rate, which means probably that it costs less to post from Italy to Israel than from Denmark to Israel .
