Tips & Advice
- To ensure your Christmas cards receive the special 'Christkindl' postmark, purchase the 'Über Postamt Christkindl' additional stamp and affix it to your already franked mail before dropping it off at any post office counter (do not use a mailbox).
- For children's letters to 'Christkindl', include a self-addressed, stamped envelope for domestic mail or an international reply coupon for international mail to facilitate a response.
- Visit the 'Christkindl-Shop' early in the season, as limited edition stamps and philatelic items are popular and may sell out quickly.
- Check the specific operating hours for each day, as they vary significantly, especially around holidays like Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.
- Consider purchasing the 'Zusatzmarke Christkindl' set (6 stamps for €5.70) starting November 14, 2024, to add a special touch to multiple holiday cards.
