Should you be aware of any errors or omissions in these tables, or if you have the information to fit this format for other territories, we would be more than glad to hear from you. (I have U.P.U. tables for the period, so I need Local, Empire and Airmail rates). You can e-mail us from HERE.

Feedback - Cayman Islands

Neil Donen has kindly pointed out some deficiencies with regard to local rates in this table and it has now been amended.

Feedback - Great Britain
