There are online dealers who sell stamps at a significant discount to the face value all of the time, no vouchers, or guesswork required. I use them for postage to send ebay sales and it saves me loads. Just search for 'discount stamps' or similar and you will find them.

http://www.discountstamps.co.uk do 100 1st class stamps for £36 saving £3 (7.7%) with free delivery. That's a much better saving than even the 6.5% discount at costco. You'll get more back if you are an executive member though with the 2% on top of the 6.5%.

Don't forget that you can also use your stamps to pay for recorded delivery and special delivery services too.

The first class stamps for £36 won't be valid after the price change.. You'd have to add on 2p to every one.. The ones that stay valid are £38 so only 1p per stamp saving. Plus they offer discounts for bank transfer = dodgy.

Definitely worth getting some before the price hike on the 6th of April if you use a lot of standard 1st class stamps

Stamps can also be bought in boots, and recieve a £5 voucher for every £5 spent. Maybe a good deal to stock up on make-up and toiletries.

Sorry you misunderstand.. If you go to the link you'll see that the £36 stamps are made up of two stamps with a value on eg. a 34p stamp and a 5p stamp to make 39p.. in April you'd have to add on 2p to send something first class making it a saving of 1p on the normal price or less than 2.5%.

As I said in my post, the stamps that say "1st" on them, that will remain valid are £38 so the same price anyway, and not cheaper than superdrug.

ah sorry,i just saw they sold in bulk
then yes it that case of stamps showing a value you will need more to make the postage level

Does anyone know how much standard 1st class are at Costco?

I stocked up on loads last year, still have plenty of 1st Class Large and Standard Second, savings get better and bigger with every price hike, sweet!
