How is postage money shard abroad?

Question

My daughter has been working in Austria and so I’ve sent her goodies over there. How does the postage money I spend on the parcels get sent to Austria? Surely they do more of the work delivering it.
Carl, Pimlico

Answer

** Definitive **
Name: Alberto, Clapham
Qualification: I’m a postman and I asked my boss the same question
Answer: Each country keeps the money for each parcel they send abroad. So England will keep all the money when Carl sends a parcel to Austria. It’s like a gentlemen’s agreement.
