You can also collect flight drop items from your or neighbours post office (new building), however it's cheap to buy but needs gifted items to complete.

Also to get post from guest planes you need the 'golden postage stamp' bonus. Either 8 greens or free on completion of the 'express delivery collection' (items round the airport).
It's valid for 5 minutes only. Need to land 20 planes so 4 needed.

Completed.

The Golden Postage Stamp has duration of 5min for 8 greenies? Rock the Sky had a ridiculous low drop rate for tents, and now this event wants to straight up charge for completion.

Making it really hard for me to want to keep playing this game GI....

You need to explore and collect "Stanley knives" from piles around neighbours cities, the drop rate is fairly low on them - i think i got 7 out of my 50 friends clicks

however, when you then use the knives in your own city the drop rate for items is fairly high comparatively, almost every open gives an item, even if its just lost letters for flights, i bought a box of 20 for 12 greenies just to test the drop rates and almost completed 2 stamp collections from the 27 i had, so the drop rate is fairly easy and i cant see this even being an issue tbh its a nice chilled relaxed one after a hard one that needed high time investment

Link to an old thread with some additional info. Different from that time now all flights up to and including Powerful Delta Jumbo require Letters of Hope.

How is the drop rate on the Post Office? I 'm building 2 of them now and want to know if it 's worth to build more.

Extra items needed, so maybe not worth it by the time you've got them.

I'm not seeing where you can buy the post office. Can someone steer me in the right direction?

Post Office gives 1x Letters of Hope per click = 1 event flight. So depending on how many event flights you plan to do you will need that many clicks on Post Offices. You can get Letters of Hope from clicking on Lost Mail around the city, but you need 1 Stationery Knife per click and drop rate is only "often".

Build all 6 and gift the building items.
Definitely build all 6!!

Found it!

Question to all who play the event:
Can someone send Stationery Knife and/or Letters of Hope as a gift or the only giftable items are Mail Sorter, Handheld Scanner, Numerator and Marking Machine?
