Local Post / Private Courier Mail. An accumulation of 131 "British Columbia Private Courrier" labels, used on piece. This local post service offered a cross-border mail alternative the Canada Post, offered primarily during the various Post Office strikes of the 1980's. Operated by Shultze Stamps out of Victoria BC, the sender could pay for the private service of having their mail carried across the border to Washington State (and vice-versa) to be processed using the United States USPS postal service. A duplicated selection (as there are 23 different in total), but with a wide-variety of postmarks to add to the intrigue. All neatly laid-out on Vario brand stockpages. Listed in both the Lafreniere and Covert catalogues. Estimate =
