josie ann I might be able to swap with you or something if someone can answer my question
I have a handmade card business and always post at the post office and ask for proof of postage
can I still ask for proof of postage if I'm using my own stamps ???
if the answer is yes to this then I'm quite happy to try and sort a deal out with you josie ann as I often use the large letter stamps for bigger orders

I have been able to get proof of postage when using stamps, they write it out on a card and stamp it instead of giving a printed paper receipt out of the machine

so you just put your own stamps on and take it to the post office in the normal way ??

Yes, they weigh the item to make sure the correct amount is on then give a receipt for proof of postage if you ask for one

You can definitely use your own stamps & get a proof of posting - I do this regularly. My local sub PO has the white forms for this on display. I suggest if you are going to do this, it is useful to have a supply of these forms so you can fill in when you are preparing your post to cut down the time at the PO.

I had Frank to stay with me last week, I hope he enjoys his next visit.
Regarding the stamps, I was hoping I could swap the large ones for 2nds at the PO but it's not allowed. I now have quite a few and don't know what to do with them. What do others do that don't need them?

OOOOOH! I wonder if he'll ever come and visit me. I'm up for swapsies too as I use the large stamps for my ebay stuff. I did send something the other day with 17 1st classes on tho.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

if you want them to visit ~(the bears) you need to e-mail them and say you're willing to have them lodge for a few days.

I ended up saving the excess stamps last yr and used them on 3 xmas presents, the proper postage of 3 items was nearly £28.00, I only paid less than £1.00 (very mse)

Same here I ask for a few extra proof of postage cards and fill them in, helps them and I go out with a polished haloe!!;)
