The card cost far less that so it went in with my regular two- or three-month letter to my cousin which costs the same. 
I understand my letters take 10-14 days to reach Tasmania. My cousin will not use e-mail but tried this a while back and struggled with an iPad, especially the keyboard.

Also in those days if you put a stamp in the upper left or lower right corner of the envelope the franking machine on the facing table couldn't reach it. They were supposed to be hand stamped but there was far too much mail to bother with that the envelope was alway faced with the address readable for sorting, bugger where the stamp was.
What happens nowadays with automatic sorting I can't say, perhaps the machines are much cleverer.
