    These are difficult and I got round the problem opening an account. My understanding is they don't send them out now if you don't have an account.

    If you can schmooz your local post office they will give you some.

    None of my local PO's give these out. The correct postage referred to in the leaflet is special delivery, so they are meant for people to use and pay the special delivery charge for, they are not meant for standard postage that's why posts suggest turning them inside out.
