Asking the European Central Bank what a pound is worth this morning…
The counter
The smallest order is one dollar.
A dollar buys as many whole stamps as it covers — — at the rate above, this morning. Half a stamp is not a thing you can put on a letter, so the odd cent stays with the post.
Stripe takes the payment on Stripe's own page, and no card number ever reaches a LoveLink page — the site's own security policy does not allow one to be loaded here. Nothing is charged until you have seen Stripe's page and its total.
The quotation

The till charges in whole cents, so a stamp is rounded up to the nearest one — a cent is the smallest coin this counter has.
The post's hours

Series one
The Instruments. One dozen.
Twelve instruments, drawn by the people who draw instruments — every stamp is a mono icon from the Musicon collection on SVG Repo, printed here in one ink at one size. Three rows, and they are the families: the strings, then the keys and the wind, then the percussion.
-
Acoustic Guitar
Six strings, and it still sounds like one person.
-
Balalaika
Three strings and a triangle, and it needs nothing else.
-
Dombra
Two strings, and enough room for a steppe.
-
Harp
Water, told to stand up.
-
Grand Piano
A hundred hammers, one sentence.
-
Accordion
Breathes in, breathes out, and takes the room with it.
-
Trumpet
Says it once, from the back of the room.
-
Saxophone
Left the orchestra and got a life.
-
Snare Drum
Keeps time for everyone but itself.
-
Bongos
Two voices, and they only ever argue in rhythm.
-
Drumsticks
The instrument behind the instrument.
-
Tambourine
The oldest instrument, and it never got better.
Series one is the orchestra, a synthesizer, and the four loudest things in the room. The next series has not been announced, and a letter does not choose its stamp — they come off the sheet in order.
At the counter
A denomination, not a receipt.
-
One stamp carries one letter, one way
Up to the moon and down to one person. A correspondence runs at two stamps a moon — one yours, one theirs — which is the only arithmetic this shop does.
-
Postage in hand
Stamps are kept under your handle and they do not expire. They buy carriage and nothing else: the moon's own hours decide when a letter goes, and a stamp does not move the hour, hurry the moon, or tell anyone that you wrote.
-
The remainder is the exchange
In sterling a stamp is exactly five pence and a pound is exactly twenty of them. In dollars it does not divide, and what will not make a whole stamp stays with the post rather than buying a fraction of one.
One stamp. One letter. One moon.
Buy the postage, write the letter, and hand it in before it's half-lit on the way up. It comes down on the night the moon is full — and not one night sooner.
