5% off 1st class stamps

001uk

Hi Kildare, The answer to your question is "YES". Any Royal Mail postage stamp that has 1st or 2nd is valid no matter how many times the rates have increased or when you bought them This also applies to stamps with the "E" (for European rate up to 20g). Currently 50p in April it will be 56p !!
These three issues are called NVI's...Non Value Inidcators.

I've been known to toss applications that came in manilla/brown envelopes rather than white A4 ones - as I was told when starting out that you should at least try to make a good impression, and brown envelopes wreak of bills and the Revenue!

Just a thought.... don't students get 10% discount as well? don't know if that would still apply, but might be worth a try.

Not valid on stamps, mobile top up & baby milk etc...

But there is a limit to how many books you can buy at once, isn't there? I vaguely recall it on one of the posters.

If a company is that dump you don't want a job with them and they are probably going to go bust themselves!:rolleyes:

Is there anywhere you can buy 2nd class stamps at a discount?

I buy 2nd class stamps (i use 2nd class as the stuff usually gets there in the same time as first - post master knows this), from viking direct, i will wait for them to have a offer on ie spend £50 get free gift. Buy the amount in stamps = free gift = keep or sell = saving or prezzie

u can buy first from them too and collect nectar xx
