It is still jumping , that was the page I was one, are you able to scroll through each page! I even tried it on iPhone, iPad and laptopā¦?
Ok worked now, I refreshed and removed cookiesā¦thanks so muchā¦.
I have never been able to get the Canada Post website to work. However, if you just go to the post office and ask for a sheet of whatever denomination you want, they will accomodate you. I do not think they sell low denominations at a discounted price for bulk, just regular domestic stamps. Also, I could be wrong but I do not think they have 30 cent stamps.
eBay also sells a lot of low denomination postally unused stamps

It does. And often for less than face value. Just be careful of shipping costs.
Meghan i will check that out tooā¦.found out i can use Canadian stamps as long as i add value for other countriesā¦. That was a surprise- i was always purchasing us and internationalā¦ which as you know are very limited in designā¦ā¦ toodles

Many of us use 3 P stamps (92 cents each) for variety on international mail.
Youāre overpaying by 5 cents, but itās worth it for the variety.
And currently Iām not fond of our intāl stamp - itās a great postcard, but a terrible image for a stamp. The previous one with an iceberg & house in Newfoundland was terrific & everyone loved receiving it.
So Iām hoping for a new one in 2023.

Sometimes you can get good deals on eBay, but you need to be aware that lots of used stamps (washed stamps which are illegal to re-use) & presented as new stamps or fraudulent stamps show up there too.

This was shared with me just this week Lynn and i so agree we only have two international stamps and same for US ā¦thank goodness we have a variety for our country. I ordered a collection of booksā¦ my cards will be a bit more exciting now lol. Check, new cards being printed check and lots of stickers check ![:joy: :joy:](https://community.postcrossing.com/images/emoji/apple/joy.png?v=12)
You all should come with a warningā¦.you are all such enablers
Noooooo kidding , i am so naĆÆve about thisā¦ i will stick with ordering from post office
We only have one intāl stamp & one US stamp right now - the Cape Breton one which is fine for a postcard but a terrible image for a stamp & the Kootenay Natāl Park stamp for the US.
And yes, the website store is terrible & itās been almost a year like this since they launched it. Somedays itās fine, somedays not but itās very hard to tell what is actually available - they often have stamps listed that have not been available for a long time which is frustrating.

I was adding Christmas ones too i have bothā¦ i Thought it was me . The site is terrible. I agree with youā¦ and they know about this? I only ever used it for business -i did not need stamps. I do go into local p.o. Rarely do they have anything new. Guess i will have to check out other big city ones
Ah, I donāt count the Xmas ones as they are pretty time limited and they often come out too late for a lot of the Christmas mail on Forum.
I get most of my stamps online b/c most convenience outlets donāt have much stock. You just have to be patient & keep trying. And yes, they know, it boogles that it hasnāt been fixed yet - Cda Post is not without resources.

I find if you stick with a few trusted sellers and arenāt too picky about what you get you can get at least face value. But Iām always wary of too good a deal assuming itās fraudulent in some way. Iāve probably missed out on some great deals on legitimate stamps because of this but I donāt want to accidentally commit mail fraud ![:rofl: :rofl:](https://community.postcrossing.com/images/emoji/apple/rofl.png?v=12)

Yeah, it took me a while to learn about washed stamps presented as new ones, but now I know so I avoid them.
Itās the fraudulent ones - theyāre so good apparently youād need to be an expert to detect them - itās billions of dollars a year business. We just have to do our best as we can.

I found a great source for āvintageā stamps with different monetary denominations via Torontoās First Post Office. I like that they also have a list of all the domestic rate stamps that are currently available. It makes it easier to purchase than using the Canada Post site although I have purchased a lot of stamp booklets via the CP site in recent months.
