60c is within Luxembourg. 85c is for Europe.
Outside Europe, the cost is 1.10.
These are all for up to 50g. |

In any case, his package is now in the post. From experience, I would count on two weeks minimum to NZ from here. |

Why not try Luxembourg?
A real country, producing stamps since 1851 and still going strong but not over the limit like GB or France.
If you don't want all the mini-sheets, service stamps and booklets, the most expensive set, of 10 stamps, can easily be found for €250 for the full set. |
