Wonder how long before we see new stamps? 
Also how many unsold current ones already exist and might be destroyed? 

I wonder what will happen about the Special Stamps already planned for this year?   Can they be issued with the Queen's Head or do they have to be quickly re-designed for the King?   And if they are already printed do they have to be destroyed?

If you've not yet swapped all your old red Machin stamps - should you hang on and possibly get them replaced with barcoded King Charles versions (however they may look).

I expect Royal Mail may have had some draft plans ready in advance...

Royal Mail say they plan to continue with all issues that have already been announced but as always, that leaves more questions than answers. What issues have actually been announced? Is that a reference to the next issue that Royal Mail have issued press releases for? Or have all issues right up to Christmas 2022 already been announced?

Will the Special Issue stamps that have been announced for later this year still be released as originally planned?

All Special Stamps that have already been announced will be issued, though the launch dates may be amended. We will make further announcements at the appropriate time after consultation with Buckingham Palace.

Before I make a stink about GDPR with Kantar, I wanted to see if this had happened to anyone else. 

Last week I had a neighbour shouting my name across the road. They had a Kantar RFID letter with my name on but their address, we share a postcode and door number but not an address. Theirs is a flat, mine is a house on opposite side of the road. Underneath the sticker with the incorrect address on was a sticker with my actual address. It's one of those business 1st class stickers, not one from an individual. 
I thought it was a bit off of them but as it had only happened once I thought it was a typo as it had been to 2 places. However when I entered it on the app it didn't seem bothered when I ticked that it wasn't addressed correctly. 

The neighbour was yelling at me to collect my post again this morning. Same thing had happened. It has been incorrectly addressed again, with a correct sticker underneath. Now this neighbour has very complex mental health needs and is extremely volatile most of the time, as a neighbourhood we try and avoid them or they kick off about some nonsense or other. I don't need the stress of them having a go at me over an issue that isn't my fault. 

Has anyone else had the miss-addressed letter thing (not the neighbour thing, I hope not anyway!) 
I think it's a massive GDPR issue if it's being done on purpose by Kantar. 

I've had items from a private panelist which miswrote a part of the address (minor local part of the postcode, I think) but it was delivered to me as the rest was correct.  It may have been delivered a day later than expected.  I did tick the incorrect address box when reporting receipt.

I noted that they didn't follow up to ask what was wrong with the address and so sent a message via the website.  I think the answer was that their report to RM would simply say there was an error in the address so that RM would have some kind of explanation for a delayed delivery.  Absolutely no interest to know what it was so they could contact the panelist to ask them to be more careful when transcribing the address to an envelope.

How is it incorrect? Are these the only occasions it has happened.  Could it be a hapless postie.

Or a hapless postie at the sorting office?
We have an assisted living block at the top of our road so share a road name and postcode, but again, they are flat x at xxx street name , we are xx (house) at streetname.

It's not uncommon for someone who doesn't know to deliver to our house instead of them, esp if the address has been truncated (nearly had a commode delivered once).

I think sometimes it depends on the sorting office or the postie themselves, a bit of human error. We live on a small street and there is a large house divided into 4 flats at one end of the street and we often get post for the flat that is the same number as our house, and vice versa. Their flat number is more prominent than the building number on their place, though ours is just as visible but if you were new and entered the street from their end rather than ours is could catch you out.
It has also occasionally happened with takeaways and they were going to take ownership of our curry until the delivery guy called my number to check!

I had a cube to post today which I overlooked. Next Monday is now a bank holiday. I am away the following Monday so if I wait till I get back it will 3 weeks late. 

Suggestions? I’m reluctant to put it in a parcel post box because they always get jammed.

Post it another day and accurately record the date its actually posted

HomingPigeon

A 'something for you' card arrived last Saturday while I was out, so I got the item redelivered today (the earliest date I could select for redelivery). The item's a cube. Do I enter it as if it was received on Saturday?

Primrose

I'd be tempted to enter it on the day you actually received it.  This will record the actual delivery date rather than the intended date and the fact that a delay has occurred in its smooth transition for whatever reason.
