Hi fellow canadians,I have some interesting news about stamps.I know how it can be hard to get u.s. and international stamps in canada because you can't buy them at the post office so you either have to go to the states or buy them online on ebay or whatever but i just read in my staples flyer that staples stores in canada now sell canadian,u.s. & international stamps in store...I don't really know why they do this but they do so now it is easy to get the u.s. postage stamps we need and i have not bought any yet but i am pretty sure they will sell them at face value without any markup because it's probably just something they are doing to get people in the store and as a courtesy to customers,I will comment more about it after i try buying some u.s. stamps there soon ...

No problem,if you buy some soon let me know if they charge anything above face value for them because i probably won't be buying any for a month or so as i have noone in the states to send to at this time...

Are you sure you read that right? At my staples they call the $1 canadian stamps, US stamps because that is the value you need to send to the US. They also call the $1.65 canadian stamps, international stamps. Just trying to give you a heads up before you get disappointed.

You know what now that you mention it you could be right about that,i never thought about that but now that you mention it i think you are right,i guess i just read usa stamps available and assumed it meant actual usa stamps not just the amount needed to send to the us...I will ask them anyways but you are probably right i just don't think they should be calling them usa stamps.If this is the case sorry for getting anyones hopes up on this one i just assumed it meant usa stamps.I guess i just think like a autograph collector!!!
Finally I've been waiting for this to happen
