LETTERS TO U.S.A.
Apparently many members of the public are not aware that the letter postage rate to the United States of America is 3d for the first half-ounce and Id for each additional half-ounce. Every .week thousands of letters for that country bearing insufficient postage are posted in New Zealand. In accordance with international postal procedure, these insufficiently prepaid letters are surcharged double the amount of the deficient postage, and this surcharge is collected from the addressee. The Post Office, therefore, urges senders to ensure that their letters (especially, for overseas, and particularly for the United States of America) are prepaid at the correct rate of postage. By doing so, they will not only lessen the work of the Post Office, but save annoyance and possible embarrassment to the addressees.
