whoever it is that has a PO with a pile available for pick-up is very lucky. At the two POs I use they treat them like gold dust and hate to part with them!

We got round the address issue by buying a CD marker pen. Its permanent marker with a fine end (like a normal writing pen) perfect for writing on these bags.

Have you had any complaints about stamps falling off these envelopes once turned inside out?
I only ask because when we first used these for e-bay sales we had a couple of buyers complain that they had to collect their parcel from the PO and pay the postage on it. Obviously we could prove to our buyers we had paid postage as we had a COP, but we refunded them the charge they had to pay and as they could see we wasn't scamming them they left good f/b.
Now when we use these bags, I go into the PO and ask for the printed stamps which are much stickier than normal stamps, haven't had any complaints since we started doing this.

Sorry for the late reply. I didnt look back at the thread! Pls Pm me any questions to remind me about the thread, lol!!

No, I've not had that problem, but you could always stick a sticker on the envelope which is more sticky, then stick the stamps to that.
I've used both self stick and lick stick stamps.

I've just used thick plastic shopping bags. Not the kind for groceries but the kind you get when you buy clothes or books. Taped shut with packing tape they are just as good and I like reusing plastic. AND Royal Mail won't get cross with me.

Not what the OP asked for but it may help nonetheless.

you can buy the a4 bags for less than 10p each inc delivery on Ebay
I tooo got a bad telling off when I tried to use one of the SD turned inside out so I buy mine now

i guess maybe i don't sell enough stuff on ebay but i have found all the bags in which i have recieved my freebies perfectly sufficient to cover my sales. I love freebies

Prepare to get a good telling off if you dont send by special delivery though.I did even though i spend about £80 a month in that post office! I know others have been too. They also are only sending out now if you are a business i believe.

never had a problem....been using them for ebay for the last 2 years but then it is easier for me as i have my own company anyway

I send them inside out too...up to 40 parcels a day but never had a complaint in 2 years
