I use the postal service quite a bit too.
I have family in the antipodes, and yes we do keep in touch by e-mail, but an e-card is nothing like one of my hand made ones.......and I do still send small packages for birthdays and such.
Only this week I posted cards that would normally have cost me £1.68...the price had gone up to £2.06.....but what can you do? There is no alternative service for small items of mail...or at least not one that I am aware.
