    What happens if you can't post at the time you're supposed to ???
    I've got to post between 10 -1 on Monday but I won't be available , could probably manage about half nine though

    You are allowed to post the following Monday, but it is fine to post at 9:30 as long as you record the right time on the website.

    thank you
    I've only done this once before and posted the time I'd sent them on the website and they haven't queried it
    as a rule I do try to stick to the times given but its not always possible is it

    I got a book of 12 stamps with an 'extra' item to post next week, still waiting for my normal stamps though.

    None for me:mad: Maybe arrive next week.

    Hi
    just wondering if anyone can help me,

    Im sure I have read on here that the stamps we receive as incentives can be sold back to the post office,
    I have at least 17 books of 12 stamps,

    I telephoned a post office number and the lady said they dont buy stamps back, so just wondering if anyone has ever got cash for their stamps. The money would come in really handy so it would be great if it is possible to do.

    Thanks for reading

    Ive just gone back through old posts. Some people have said they have sold back stamps at main post offices, and some have said they tried to at main PO but were told they couldnt.

    So i guess it depends on the post office staff.

    You could always try selling them on ebay?

    I know this may sound mad, but put some up ready for xmas, I know last yr as a family, we posted over 80 cards.

    What about asking friends or family, or ebay, not sure how much they go for, think its about half the price of the stamps.x

    me too, got my first extra item and 12 extra first class stamps (my family are so chuffed with all these stamps and extra stamps they get).

    I was wondering those which send magazines etc, do I not get them yet because I'm a newbie to royal mails surveys?? and are all items stamped the ones which we send to one another and the franked ones done by royal mail??
