Yes. £450 worth back in January. Last lot have just gone.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0 -
I have just sent my third lot off, special delivery mail as it was worth over £200. As a precaution, I took photos of the stamps when I had them laid out on the table for counting.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0

Today is the day when I am finally doing it.
Around £150 worth, going to use some (how many exactly?) to pay for special delivery to the actual (not freepost) address use the £200+ form and try my luck requesting SD refund. Take pictures of the contents.
Does it sound like a good plan ?All my life my mother told me the storm was coming (c) Terminator 30 -
No, it's a bad plan. They will refund you if the stamps get lost, regardless of whether you use SD. Just take photos and get proof of posting.BiggaThanBen said:Today is the day when I am finally doing it.

No, it's a bad plan using £200+ form when only sending approx £150, use the correct form.BiggaThanBen said:Today is the day when I am finally doing it.

I’m not sure what you mean? Use the Freepost address and get POP , if you upgrade to a paid for service on only £150 of stamps you might not be refunded the postage.BiggaThanBen said:

michfosb said:Everyone I have spoken to, with regard to the stamp swap out scheme, has sent off their stamps and not received anything in return. Has anyone on this forum received their stamps?
I sent off £94.40 of large 1st Class stamps to be swapped out. I received in return today £44 odd of standard second class stamps. Tried to email them on the email address quoted on the letter which came with the undervalued stamps. Email bounces back as "not a valid email address". I'll ahve to phone them on Monday. I do have a photograph of the completed swap out form which also shows some of the books of large 1st class stamps.
