    First class stamps are worth 36p until Monday, so seven will do (£2.52)
    It must be true, I read it on Wikipedia

    The sticky white labels will have a bar code on them, use 1 on your big grey envelope, (the send back the weekly post in) if you have any smarts to go back you can put more than one smart in the envelope and stick the other barcode on there.

    Hope that helps x


    I did'nt think you had to put a barcode label on returning smarts in the smart envelopes.I never have in twelve month

    Your correct it takes two you do not have to put a barcode sticker on the smarts return envelope. This is because the smarts are under your id when you enter them online when you get them hth.
    Thanks for any help and advice given

    oops I stuck a barcode on the back when I sent a smart back, as I thought that was why they printed two on our sheets in the posting pack. I guess they can tell who they are from anyway, but thought it made sense that that was what the 2 stickers were for?! I might be wrong!

    Glad I'm not the only one who does that!, that why I presumed there was 2 barcodes. Been doing it for over 18mths and no ones said either way x
