2nd class stamps in bulk

i need to do a rather large mail out of 1000 letters. this wont qualify for any royal mail discount as you need min of 2k letters is what Ive been told.

I want to send 2nd class and I recall a while back the supermarkets doing discount stamps like a penny off 18p (it was about 3 yrs ago!)

is there any where I can buy stamps in bulk for a discount?

  • I think you can get a couple of pence off each stamp at Costco, if you or a friend have a Costco card. If not, to get a card you have to pay an annual fee so it probably won't work out cheaper.
    Your home is at risk if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or other loan secured on it.

    If your letters are for the same town, have you considered asking boy scouts etc to hand deliver them and make a donation

    I had thought of doing some myself on a bike, but it would take 7 weeks solid :\

    Only just saw these on ebay last week - don't know about feedback or anything - but they were definitely cheaper than the PO.

    Just make sure you get self-adhesive stamps rather than the ones you have to lick ...

    99% of the stamps on ebay are used and have been soaked off of old letters.
