Here in Ireland, a stamp is 1.85eur.

So. Many. Possibilities.

Wow didn't realize its much more expensive in some places outside the US. I'd think the smaller land area would make it cheaper.

In Denmark it is €3.08 for a 100g letter.

This appears to be the cost without subsidy, with the mail service now run by a private company.

It's fine. I receive less than the average 10 letters per year (including junk mail). I check the mail box every two weeks or so.

The USPS is an amazing service. Extremely dependable and affordable. They service places that no sane company ever would and they do a pretty good job. The only real downside is that it centralizes government surveillance, but the same can be said for the other large/popular private delivery services.
