    Can anyone remember the details of the company that buys stamps as I've loads here I won't use and even if I get a percentage I'd be happy. I know I've read it somewhere in this thread but hopefully someone knows to save me having to go thru all 474 pages. Thanks

    I’ve used Philatelink before. They are easy to deal with. The discount on face value seems to have grown over the last few years.

    How do people send their stamps off to these services? I assume it has to be Special Delivery?

    The first time I did, the second time I used ordinary post. It’s a risk, but I guess anyone thieving from the postal service knows that anything to Philate will contain stamps and no doubt they have easier ways of thieving stamps given they work in the service.

    Monthly, while you are live on the main survey, plus once at the beginning and the end together with a Royal Mail collectors pack. So altogether you should get 8 sets plus 2 RM collectors packs.

    They seem to be a bit hit and miss as to when they give you the points. I'm waiting on the points for a RFID I returned on 27th April but others returned since then have been awarded. I'll wait a bit longer before raising a ticket.
