[Pollinator] Update on Pollinator Stamps

[Jennifer Tsang]

Thanks to Steve Buchmann for forwarding on the below:

 

Dear Steve:

 

The 41 cent Pollination stamps which went on sale June 29, 2007, normally
would be kept on sale for a one year period. In some cases, local post
offices will continue to sell these stamps with the caveat that you'll need
to add postage for the new rate. Many of the Post Offices though will return
them for destruction because of the new rate adjustment next Monday. 

But, you are in luck. Our Stamp Fulfillment Services office in Kansas City,
MO, will continue to sell these stamps for a number of months. In the
upcoming July USA Philatelic catalog the Pollination stamps will be listed
in the "Last Chance" section in the back of the catalog. You will have three
months after that in which you can order the stamps. So, the bottom line is,
you can continue to obtain these stamps until early October, 2008. You can
order by phone at 1 800 STAMP-24 (1 800 782 6724).

I'm not sure how long the usps.com website will carry the stamps. What with
the large influx of new issues for the price adjustment next week, they may
pull some of the older stamps. There is no guarantee that the Pollinator
stamps will be kept on the site.

As for the Gold Folio, once again, you are in luck. This is considered a
philatelic product and will remain on sale indefinitely, or until supplies
are exhausted. These, like the stamps, can be ordered through our Kansas
City offices.

I hope this information is of help. If you have additional questions, don't
hesitate to contact me.

 

Regards,
