What's the English word for "efterporto"?
Efterporto (sometimes called strafporto) is the Danish word for what
the reciever must pay when you have sent him a letter with insufficient postage and he must pay the rest and a fee? I think nachgebühr is the German word. -- Mvh Toke Læs om Ejnar Olsen og Søllestedmærkerne samt om trusselsbrevet til kong Fr. 8! http://www.norbyhus.dk/ |

Bill Some were, and some were not. All issued before 1924 said Postage Due. Then the 2/6 was issued, saying To Pay, as the high values were needed for Customs Dues rather than Postage. It was not until 1955 that a 5/- value was introduced, with 10/- and £1 following in 1963. However, on decimalisation in 1971 all 'Postage Due' stamps were inscribed 'To Pay' as by then there were a range of uses besides deficient postage collection. At that time the postman had to pay for the due stamps before collecting the money on his rounds. With changes in society finding no servant in to take the post became a problem, and postage due stamps ceased to be used to collect deficient postage from individuals in 1995, and their use ceased in 2000. Now if postage is due yellow labels are affixed to the envelope and you have to pay either at the delivery office (12 miles away in my case), or by affixing postage stamps to a reply card, or using the internet with a credit/debit card. -- -- Tony Clayton |
