    Max parcel box size is 
    • If your parcel is up to a maximum size of 45cm x 35cm x 16cm, then our Parcel Postboxes are the perfect solution for your medium sized parcels!

    Can anyone remind me about the system for returning books/CDs/DVDs to Spectos? I have a vague memory of writing ‘SPECTOS, FREEPOST’ on parcels. I’ve been out of the loop for quite some time due to illness. Now I’ve got a pile of tat I’d be embarrassed to take to a charity shop. Fairly sure I’d be giving them the task of disposing of them.  (Old, grotty, naff, yuk!)
    Exactly that. Box up and take to the Post Office, marked FREEPOST SPECTOS. If ou can be bothered. I’m inclined to put them in the black bin.
    Best wear a disguise then, or go to a post office outside your normal area, or your cover will be blown....

    Roughly what sort of percentage of face value do these companies pay please?
    This is on their website.
    Yes, I just wondered if they offer nearer the bottom of the range or if there's scope to get closer to the top.

    I think stamps are a great investment seeing as how fast they are going up these days

    I don't think that is likely. Has it happened before?
