=======================================================


OK, just buying ANY of these NVI stamps before that date will save money but getting the right ones from the right place can make this a SUBSTANTIALLY BETTER opportunity.

For example, buying ANY of these 1st or 2nd NVI stamps BEFORE 6th April and USING THEM on or after 6th April offers a greater investment return than any bank or building society can hope to achieve in probably 3 or 4 years

For example it's a 11.1% return just on a 2nd class stamp

HOWEVER, the stamp that has the greatest value increase is the 1st class LARGE LETTER stamp.

LARGE Letter - Max. 353mm (L) x 250mm (W) x 25mm (D)
Under 100g - 1st £0.52 > £0.61 = +£0.09 (17.3%)

52p increasing to 61p - a massive 17.3% increase.

Currently Large Letter 1st class stamps at SUPERDRUG (ends 14th Feb) have a 5% discount.
Book of 4 for just £1.98
Makes them 49.5p each

49.5p increasing to 61p - that's 11.5p a letter - an even more massive 23.23% increase

And 61p is what you will be paying MINIMUM for any 1st class mail that is over 240mm by 165mm in size OR over 5mm thick
(That's about 6.5 inches by 9.4 inches - a little more than A5 - that's A4 folded in half)

Obviously these NVI stamps can be used towards ANY POSTAGE value that's higher - EVEN for SECOND CLASS on a PARCEL - doesn't matter it says 1st - they will just be worth 61p !!


A SECOND "SUBSTANTIALLY BETTER" OPPORTUNITY

Letter - Max. 240mm (L) x 165mm (W) x 5mm (D)
Under 100g - 1st £0.36 > £0.39 = +£0.03 (8.33%)

Currently these "normal" (UK Basic letter rate) 1st class stamps
can be purchased at MAKRO (expiry unknown) with a 8.84% discount.


MAKRO are doing a "pack" of 60 (that's SIXTY)

You actually get 10 books of 6 for just £19.69 - should cost £21.60

So that's a saving of £1.91 - approx 8.84% discount - or OVER 3p per stamp

Your 1st class stamp (currently worth 36p) available to buy at just 32.8 pence each.

On 6th April 2009 these stamps will be worth (and cost you to buy at face value from that date) 39p
Yes! THIRTY NINE PENCE

32.8p to 39p is just over 18.9% profit.

=======================================================

If you sell on Ebay etc., send Birthday Cards, Anniversary Cards, or will post some of this or even next year's Christmas Cards ......

............. BUY YOUR 1st & 2nd NVI STAMPS NOW !!!

EVEN IF you can't buy them at Superdrug or Makro !!!

A reminder ..

If you want a 23% return on your "investment" you need the Large Letter 1st Class stamps from SUPERDRUG whilst they have a 5% discount

That 5% discount ENDS ON SATURDAY !!! 14th Feb

In theory the 1st class "5% discount" stamps on offer are limited to 72 per customer.
So if you want a lot, you may need multiple visits to multiple stores.

Furthermore stock levels may be limited, especially the Large Letter ones.
Remember SUPERDRUG isn't The Post Office.

Another snippet that might be of use ... if you're going to dash to Superdrug before they close today.

I decided I'd like a few more of the Large Letter stamps and increase my "investment" this morning.
Having paid for them the assistant couldn't find enough of the books of 4 x Large 1st in her till to fulfill it.
She raided the other tills but was still short.
She asked the manager to get some more out of the office (where he expected to find "plenty" apparently) but he only came back with about half of those required.
He said that if it was OK, he could order some to make up the outstanding balance (rather than refund my over-payment) and I could collect them the next time I was passing, anytime from next Tuesday onwards.

I agreed :j :j :j

So if you want more than they have in stock, you know what they can do.

Quoia - I don't send much mail, but it made interesting reading. You should probably go and copy this post over on the ebay board, where I am sure it will be of great benefit to a lot of people.

If a stamp says '2nd class' how many years is this valid for? We have a sheet from about five years ago and wondered if we can still use them as second class stamps (presumably small letters only tho). Does anyone know for sure?

williham

If they say 1st or 2nd then they will always be valid

Thanks for the breakdown.

I got about £500 of stamps for the charity I work for about a week ago - and now at least I can see what I should be buying more of.

Excellent.
