Cheap stamps! CostCo

boombap

Hi,

I'm sure this must have been reported on here before but I thought it won't harm to post anyway...

Just got back from CostCo and picked up a supply of first class stamps which work out a bargain 33.8p each! (Post Office price 39p) They come in 10 x packs of 60 (so 60 stamps) for £20.29.

When I mail out my ebay items I tend to make up the amount with first class stamps plus smaller ones to get the amount correct. You don't have to be good at sums to work out that you're making a saving of over 5p on each first class stamp used. I send out about 50 packages + a week with 5 x first class stamps on so I'm making a saving of around £13 a week by getting them from there. Ok, it's not as ethical as getting stamps from a local PO (don't have one anyway!) but it soon adds up to a great saving.

This appears to be the standard price at CostCo rather than a special promotion.

Large 1st class are also available - works out at 57.1p (rather than 61p) and standard and small 2nd class but didn't see the price on them.

Hope this helps someone and hope no-one gets upset if it has been posted before,

Is that the shelf price or the receipt price?

No VAT on stamps so will be the same for shelf price and receipt price.
