Are the post office's 2D barcodes sufficient proof of postage?

Mine has my RM account number.

The point is, how has a QR code got through the system when it's (let's say) been photoshopped for another QR code.

Once the POC accepts it,it becomes mail. If revenue protection dont pick up its invalid (does it still show postage paid etc) then it will be delivered.

nothing hi tec about generating QR codes and putting them into a label
however,does that mean the seller wasnt charged for the return label if it didnt scan?

Funnily enough, you did just remind me that I discovered a loop-hole in the bar coded labels (at least the eBay printed ones), I won't say what happened on here, and I didn't try to see if it was repeatable.


What I do know is that if you get a missing 2nd class parcel and you call the o345 number (which I assume is 10p per minute) it takes about half hour to get through and there is no further data on these parcels barcode. If there's no scan - there is no info other than when you can claim. And I'm still concerened that someone can pick up a parcel from the delivery office after you've had to refund or replace.
