Thank you! Dank Je!

I am really looking forward to the Eurovision Song Contest next week and wondered if there are any (official) postcards about it. If you have one I would love to swap or if you have seen one among the sent cards I would love to add it to my favourite list.
I have now seen this card. If anybody has it I would really love to swap for it or any other thematic card. I am sure that I can find something that you like.

Hello! I am going on holiday in Zandvoort, Netherlands at the end of july and I have some questions because I want to send some postcards in travel mode.
What kind of stamps do I need? Like for international postcards?
Do I need my own priority stickers? I‘ve seen some stamps from the Netherlands with the priority logo, are they the ones I need to get?
I can get stamps in the post office, right? I know, such a dumb question but I wanted to make sure
Do I need to know anything else about sending from your country?
I am very excited and happy because It‘ll be my first visit in the Netherlands!
I would appreciate if anyone could answer my questions, thank you so much in advance!
xx Jill

Post offices (or PostNL service counters) will have stamps, and sometimes tourist shops selling postcards will have stamps as well. The standard international stamps already have the Priority part included. They cost 1,55 euro each but usually you have to buy a whole sheet of five stamps.
You can find where to buy stamps or postbox locations in the online PostNL location finder: https://www.postnl.nl/locatiewijzer?q=Gemeente%2520Zandvoort&f=0&c=0
(I don’t know if it autotranslates, if you need help with the translations let me know 
)
Have a good holiday!

Hello postcrossers in the Netherlands.
I was reading a travel accounts about an author’s travel to Europe in 1970’s.
In Amsterdam, the author found mailboxes are attached at a head of each city train and mails are collected at terminal station.
Do they still exist ? Or similar things are done in other cities in the Netherlands?
I found it interesting and very efficient.

@Meg2020 I’ve found this article (in Dutch, but there are pictures):
https://www.amsterdamsetrams.nl/allerlei/brievenbussen.htm
Basically from 1922-1971 certain trams in the city of Amsterdam had a mailbox attached at the back. Some city busses also had mailboxes, but in the front.
The mailboxes were emptied at Central Station so only those tram lines that stopped there had a mailbox.
In the end it was cancelled because not enough people used it and it was not cost effective anymore.
As far as I know, nothing like this exists nowadays.

Thank you for answering my question.
The author’s travel was 1971 and so it was the last chance to see mailboxes at trams.
In the travel account I was reading, the author was told by a hotel staff that mailboxes at tram are faster than mailboxes in hotel.
It’s interesting that it was not cost effective.
Thank you so much.

Recently I have used up my PostNL Priority stickers I got free of charge attached to an order at postzegelsmetkorting.nl. Then I visited two postal service points at an AH and a Jumbo in my neighbourhood and tried to find whether they had rolls of PostNL Priority stickers. Unfortunately they didn’t. Therefore I wonder where could we have such stickers other than the discount postage stamp seller. Cheers!
Hi! You are correct for asking for them at the PostNL Service Points, some do have them. You’ll have a better chance at the Bruna shops.
Otherwise, you can print them yourself from the PostNL website:

Hi.
Recently I was on this site. They are free but has a maximum of 20 per order.
I can imagine they don’t stock up on them anymore as the current international stamps have the priority logo on the stamp itself.
If you don’t find them and still have stamps without priority logo, you can also write on the card yourself. Or ping me as I seem to receiving more of the stickers than needed with postzegelsmetkorting and have a bunch left
Thank you! Asking stationary shops like Bruna is a good point. There is a Primera nearby and I will have a look there.
