Subject: Expreso Ribon, Fee structure
Posted: 01 November 2008 at 10:42am

While preparing a few album pages for my Private Mail Carrier stamps of Colombia, i noted some missing information how the fee structure was for their letters and how the fee was paid to the national post of Colombia?

I.E. In the 1930, the postage rate for an ordinary letter was 6 centavos (as per my knowledge) and letter i.e. carried by Expreso Ribon were franked with 6 centavos national postage stamps only. What was the fee for Expreso Ribon and what for the national mail and how that fees was paid?]]> Sat, 01 Nov 2008 10:42:27 +0000 http://fuchs-online.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52&PID=97#97 The stamps and Postal History of the Private Mail Carriers : Trans Ocampo http://fuchs-online.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51&PID=96#96 Author: Rainer

The private carrier Trans Ocampo issued and used their own stamps in 1951, despite it was prohibited by law No. 1574 dated 16. September 1933. Why they still could use there stamps? Any clue from any collector here?

Paul,

like Colin, I also have never seen such a cover. Can you post an image here? ]]> Tue, 19 Aug 2008 02:34:50 +0000 http://fuchs-online.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=49&PID=94#94 Nepal Postmarks and Postal History : Internal cover sent as an "Air Document" http://fuchs-online.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=49&PID=93#93 Author: colinhepper

I have been collecting Nepal for 40 years and have not come across the Air Document that you describe. If you wish I can have your question published in 'Postal Himal' the quarterly magazine of the Nepal & Tibet Philatelic Study Circle to see if any of our other members have come across one.]]> Tue, 19 Aug 2008 01:47:02 +0000 http://fuchs-online.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=49&PID=93#93 Nepal Postmarks and Postal History : Internal cover sent as an "Air Document" http://fuchs-online.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=49&PID=92#92 Author: paul

I have a Nepal 1972 (June 6) envelope from Birganj to the British Defence Attache in Kathmandu, without postage, but carried by Royal Nepal Airlines as an Air Document, with an air consignment note stapled to one corner (now detached) indicating a charge of 1Rupee 70 paisa. There are no postal markings. Does anyone have other examples, or more information about this service?

I have uploaded a page with all handstamps in my collection, along with computer measured size of actual handstamps, along with some additional informations which will be extended over the time.
Similar pages I will create for imprinted Envelopes, labels etc...

Dear Brian,

i feel that is a question which a China Collector can answer..., maybe you can check with the:
China Philatelic Society of London!
or:
The China Stamp Society inc., USA

In any case, if you receive an answer form the mentioned societies, kindly post that reply also here.]]> Sat, 05 Jul 2008 05:45:58 +0000 http://fuchs-online.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=48&PID=89#89 Tibet Postmarks and Postal History : New Tibet Post Office at Mount Everest http://fuchs-online.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=48&PID=88#88 Author: Brian Smith

Have recently become aware of a new Post Office in Tibet set up in May 2001 in the Rongbuk Valley at the base camp for Mount Everest. At 17,000 feet it is claimed to be the worlds highest Post Office. It apparently opens at 11am every day from April to August and costs 3 yuan (c43 US cents) to send a letter to Beijing, and 9 yuan (c1.35 US dollars) to send aletter to England.

My questions are: 1. Has anyone seen any postal items from this Post Office ?

2. Where can I obtain an example (other than going there!) ?
