Hello.  I was considering signing up for this to get free stamps for next Christmas.  Do they still do the parcels, I only want letters or padded envelopes that'll fit through letter box.  Many thanks.

Yes, parcels are part of the requirements. Both posting and receiving.

Many thanks for fast reply.  I'll leave it to others to be exploited.

Seem to be behind with receiving our monthly stamps .
Last ones I got where 13/11/25 .
Then the extra  Christmas stamps on 26/11/25.
Before anyone reminds me that we get informed under the Observations tab on our manifest , I do understand this but I am convinced we haven't been awarded anything since the end of November.
Does everyone agree or am I wrong  🤔

I went live in December. My stamps weren't included in the posting packs for December but were sent in a separate envelope along with the Christmas ones. So far the two sending packs I've received for January haven't included any stamps.

I came here to ask exactly the same thing. I don’t know when I exactly received the last lot of stamps but in the observations section, it says they were for December. So received those plus the Christmas lot but haven’t got anything for January yet.

Probably a lot of annual leave going on over Christmas. Give them time to catch up.

I am getting a bit tired of the Pending queries regarding the RFID tags . I have always sent them back pretty quickly, none in my possession now but query remains .Wish they would provide a facility to reply as all have been returned .

I find the same - they can just be very slow at processing the receipt of RFIDs.

I do wonder given the emphasis they place on returning them and that they don't include them in certain items (especially in December) whether they actually have enough!

I have the same niggle.  However my pending query finally disappeared this morning.

Honestly I’ve not had parcels on my last 3 stints. The first time I had lots of parcels and bags but none since

It's a New Year and I'm starting on UA and CD later this month - should keep me going until I restart properly in March.

The 2026 Special Stamps have been announced for the first half of the year:  2026 Stamp Calendar  So if you're due a Presentation Pack soon - here's what you might get.  I'd be happy with Concorde or Hornby but I'm a nerd like that

My local postbox has just been converted to the hybrid parcel type (solar panel on top and scanner) which means that next cycle I should be able to use it to drop off Spectos packages instead of lugging the mailbag to the PO.  Anybody tried this yet?
