Does it mean the post can be sent without a stamp??

  1. No. However, there will be the word „Antwort“ or a variant thereof printed above the address, and this keyword means that you don’t need a stamp.

  2. It is a free response letter. The imprint is just an attempt to save money. I have never put a stamp on it and everything has always arrived.

  3. “Please liberate, if you have a stamp at hand”

    Now, if you’re American let me point out that this does NOT mean to attack, nuke, invade or in any other way antagonize the envelope!!!

  4. Yes, don’t need to put a stamp on it but you can.

    If you don’t do it, the recipient needs to pay the fee.

  5. it means you should undress in case you have a stamp.

    Nah seriously, it simply means the costs are taken by the receiver of the mail. The “Bitte” only implies in case you have a stamp left you wouldn’t use otherwise it would be appreciated if you put it on there, however with or without stamp your mail will be delivered ;).

  6. Oh wow, never realized that.
    What the actual fuck do Germans think when to co.e up with those god damn nonsensical frases like “bitte frei machen”?
    And I actually am native German…..

  7. Yes. It says “please put a stamp on here if you have one on hand”. If you don’t have one on hand, then you can send it without a stamp. I usually put a stamp on there if the recipient is an organisation I care about and want to support and not cost them money (because they end up paying postage for letters that arrive without a stamp). Otherwise I send it without a stamp.

  8. It means if you have just by coincidence an already licked stamp sticking to the tip of your finger you are very welcome to glue it on because then you would pay cost of delivery instead of the receiver that actually agreed to pay it by printing that text on the letter. I’d wonder how many people actually glue a stamp on those letters. But i do know quite a lot of people that would come into question. I never would. 😂

  9. Legit question: I’m a little confused what it means.

    “Leave empty if you have stamps in hand”

    Or

    “Leave empty in case it will be stamped by hand”

  10. Yes, AND every envelope that has the little posthorn on it is already paid for, too! Even though some say that you should put a stamp on it, you don’t. Most people don’t know.

  11. Yes it can, but the recipient will be required to pay for it, so if you want to make sure it definitely arrives you should probably pay a stamp.
