Deutsch Begriff oder Satz: Briefmarkenvorkasse
Hello! This is from an e-commerce web site talking about shipping very small quantities/low-weight goods. It occurs in a couple of places - does anyone know the English?

"Als Versandart: Miniaufträge Briefmarkenvorkasse Brief oder Päckchen"

"Sie bekommen per Email eine Briefmarkenvorkasserechnung mit dem tatsächlich anfallenden Brief- bzw. Päckchenporto."

TIA for any advice on what to do with this term!

Hilary ;-)

Thank you very much - later in the text it did actually say that this was a bill for JUST the cost of the postage - to be paid in cash/by bank transfer.

Neutraler Kommentar  Ulrike Lieder (X): I think avantix is right, this refers to prepayment of the entire order in stamps, not just the postage. (Since this apparently is done only for "mini" orders, I imagine the objective is to eliminate bank and/or credit card charges.)

prepayment in stamps


Erklärung:
The item(s) (incl. postage) has/have to be prepaid in stamps. Such to avoid bank charges (it's a rather oldfashioned way of prepayment,I remember it was quite usual back in the 1950's/60's (yes, I'm already that old!! :(

Zustimmung  Ulrike Lieder (X): That's what it sounds like to me, too. I also remember the days when prepayment was made in stamps - didn't think that was done anymore in the current era of credit card payments.
