  • Can someone please Pm me the details and what are the blueys from the post office? Is it special envelopes to post the letters in and do all post offices stock them?

    Thanks.

    Okay for anyone who doesn't know, ( cos i didnt ),
    HM Forces Airletters or Blueys are an all in one letter and envelope. They are available at all Post Office branches and may be sent free of charge to certain BFPO addresses. There is a list on Royal Mail website of free ones and a list of postage prices for other addresses.
    Hope this helps x ;)
