Royal Mail barcoding stamps - existing stamps valid only until 31 Jan 2023

Why would you pay (money) for tracked delivery when you can use some of the stamps that you were going to swap (and yes, you can use lots of stamps to make up the cost of Special Delivery)?littlemoney said:If you paid extra for a tracked delivery of the stamps you want to swap does Royal Mail reimburse the cost and if so how does it reimburse the cost.
Royal Mail will give you the value of the tracked delivery in stamps so you don't lose out overall. In fact, you're probably better off using existing stamps to pay for special delivery as then you don't effectively lose more money to RM.0 -

Hiya,
I had posted my stamp swap form with attached around 20 first-class stamps, posted using their given envelope on 21st October.
However, I still did not receive their reply (new bar code stamp) until today as (8th November). It has been almost 2 weeks.
Thank you.

My last lot were sent in middle of Sept. I received them in the first week in October. Others reported delays after that so I held off. The strikes seemed to be affecting the service.alandaniel132 said:

Yes. Some people have reported over 4 which is a bit worrying when it it possible it may have been lost.alandaniel132 said:
