ex-lurker 0 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Why oh why doesn't the post office here sell envelopes?? (Or is it just my local po)? Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Hi ex-lurker Perhaps not only your local post office but also other post office, I have never seen envelops sold in the post office nearby. Even I have never cared for it because since I was a kid, I have always bought envelops in some stationery stores. Hum... I don't know why they don't have envelops to sell.

proudtobegay 0 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I've thought that before, guess everyone here just kinda knows. Link to post Share on other sites
akibun 0 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I never thought about that! Like gamera says. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Know what you mean... itd make too much sense to be able to buy things you need, i.e. letters,from the P.O. I do like the PO ATMs though - can use em anywhere without a surcharge. Link to post Share on other sites
sakebomb 0 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Did anyone win any goods through the "New Years Postcard lotto"? I probably won't have to buy stamps this year. Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Haha Sakebomb Can we say you got that many stamps or you seldom send any cards or letter? Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 How do we check if we've won? Is there a place online or do you have to go to the P.O.? Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Me jane, Here's one. http://allabout.co.jp/entertainment/sweepstake/closeup/CU200301190079/ Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Of course you can ask post office staffs if you've won or not showing cards. You can check the number at newspaper as well - my Asahi shinbun Jan.17th issue has it but Japan times doesn't Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 How many did you get? I got 10. Link to post Share on other sites

viv&kev 0 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 The post office near us actually sells envelopes. Not a big selection but they do have them. Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 sakebomb, both? - you mean Japan times shows the number or? viv&kev, probably convenient especially for tourists! Link to post Share on other sites

me jane 0 Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Thanks gamera, only got 11 cards so pretty slim chance but I'll check when I get home tonight. Did anyone win anything... or even know anyone who did? Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I have heard good things about the PO in Japan though in general, don't know it. You never know it could get as bad as what we have here. (Heaven forbid!) Link to post Share on other sites

SplendidSeekerOfMatferon6 0 Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Is it a good pub? I heard the Japanese is going private soon, and they're spending ridiculous amounts of public tax money on 'advertising' that. Link to post Share on other sites
