Postage Stamp Museum (Briefmarkenmuseum), Vaduz, Liechtenstein

Advantages: Quiet, peaceful, copious banks and stamp shops
Disadvantages: Not a throbbing metropolis, and pricey with it!

...? there were a lot of teenagers lurking on park benches drinking and smoking in Vaduz. The town's official website www.vaduz.li contained information on accommodation - generally prices are a bit higher than over the border in Austria, although they are similar to prices in Switzerland. All in all Vaduz is worth a longer visit than just a cup of coffee, but is only really worth a half day trip to really. The city is very clean, but the sterility of the place does little to entice me to spend longer there. If you like postage stamps and banks you will be in heaven, otherwise the scenery on the bus ride through Liechtenstein to get there might be the most excitement you get!... Read review

Advantages: no developing needed
Disadvantages: tiny tiny pictures

Advantages: Stamps are available without going to Post Office
Disadvantages: Torturous process if you want to send more than one thing

...give you a basic outline! In short what you can do is calculate the postage for your item, enter the address you are sending it to, create a mailing label complete with postage logo, open an account (or just pay outright for the individual item) and then print the label. All in all quite simple really, but in practice I found it was rather more complicated than I would have liked. What it DOES do ********************* 1. You can buy stamps for your letters online at the cost price - in other words, unlike using a franking machine, you don't pay a premium to use the service you just pay the actual cost of the postage. - excellent 2. It lets you print out a label to put on your envelope (or to print on to your actual envelope) and don't worry if you make a mistake it will let you reprint it if you want - excellent 3. It allows...
