- List of Ottoman postal rates in Palestine
The List of Ottoman postal rates in Palestine surveys the postal rates in effect between 1840–1918 during the Ottoman rule in Palestine. Rates not applicable in Palestine are not included.
The Imperial edict of 12 Ramasan 1256 (14 October 1840)[Collins & Steichele, 2000, pp. 17-21.] and later ordinances made the distinction between three types of mail items: ordinary letters, registered letters (markings "te'ahudd olunmoshdur"), and official letters (markings "tahirat-i mühümme").][Steichele, 1977-1981, p. 1015.3] Fees were calculated by the type of mail, the weight, and the distance (measured in hours): in 1840, an ordinary letter, weighing less than 10g, had a cost per hour of 1 para.][Collins & Steichele, 2000, p. 13.] ][Steichele, 1977-1981, p. 1015.4.] Special fees applied to samples, insured mail, special delivery, and printed matters, etc.][Collins & Steichele, 2000, p. 13.] The postal rates changed frequently, and new services were added over the years. Upon joining the Universal Postal Union on 1 July 1875, Ottoman overseas rates conformed to UPU rules.]Postal rates
