How to buy valid postage stamps from Peru... when you don't live there?

Question

A friend of mine is going to Peru (from New Zealand) for a holiday. I'd like to give her, as a going away present, some pre-stamped postcards, so that she doesn't have to look for a post office all the time when she's there. It costs 5 soles to send a postcard from Peru to NZ.

Answer 1

Here is a book for you. How to make money selling stamps and you will learn a lot of non conventional ways.

Try it before buying stamps at the P.O. You may learn a lot just by the sales page...

Good luck with your collection or business

Answer 2

Just go to the post office.

Answer 3

Let me enlighten you about our (peruvian) post office. Here we don't have slot machines that dispense air mail stamps and public mail boxes. Instead there's a Post Office in every neighborhood and if your friend has to go there to drop the postcard, why bother to get it with a postage stamp in advance if she still has to go to the same place were she buys the stamps to send it?

A better going away present would be a Lonely Planet book about PERU.

Answer 4

LOL Yeah we don't have mail boxes but she doesn't have to look for a post office, she can send a postcard from any convenience store like Wong (like Waitrose but better!) and so on.
