  • I still have loads of stamps, left do you know the number for the leaflet from the Post Office to get money back for the stamps from Royal Mail.

    When I asked at PO they said they have never heard of it.

    thanks Ange

    I am not sure if that is for new unused stamps. I had loads stuck to letters that were never posted ( for a charity ) I reclaimed them -you send them away and they send back a cheque. They take a percentage and it seemed a lot but I can't remember how much. But better than binning them. Will your post office not buy them from you. I give mine to my friends that are posting stuff eg WRI , Travel Club, 50+ etc. and I still have enough for about 10 years of Christmas cards.

    There was a discussion about this some time ago on here (or possibly earlier thread). As I remember the local post office will not buy back and if you sent them away there is a 15% discount.
  • Was it that long ago?!
    I didn't realize.
    The Survey site says the stamps will be in envelopes despatched w/c 8 Feb for postings w/c 22 February.

    Yes just noticed the extra wording about "posting for w/c 22 Feb" on the website as I received my envelope for next week's posting this morning & found no stamps!

    I think we have missed a month's stamps as I believe the last ones came with the Dec 27 & I would have expected the next lot by now.

    Does anyone else think the same?

    You were thinking the same as me I am sure they have missed a month out.
    Thanks for any help and advice given

  • I think you will find that the stamps we got on the 27th dec were for january.Remember they gave us 2/3 weeks january postings

    that's right they sent them out early because of the bad weather etc

    But the ones before came out on 30 November (I started keeping a check of the dates at that time as i wasn't sure I had always received them). So for 2 months they have come at the end of the month but none sent out in January at all!

    Are you suggesting that as we had a week off in January, they have moved the reimbursement back a week?
