    If you use 'used' stamps you run the risk of the person receiving being surcharged. Royal Mail have much better equipment that detects if a stamp has been used and they can pick up many of those that have been stuck with glue.
    They have a very active revenue protection team that picks up on this sort of thing and if they see a pattern of use from someone they will pursue as fraud.
    Be very careful if buying these stamps for intended use.

    So annoying when this happens!! :mad: I have been the unfortunate one who has had to pay the surcharge to receive a birthday card/congratulations card from somebody trying this trick :eek: Not impressed!!

  • Hi - I use first and 2nd class stamps on letters/parcels as part payment, and then go to the post office or check online for the total cost, and make that up with 5p, 2p and 1p stamps. So by using the discounted Superdrug 1st class stamps as much as you can on heavier/larger items, you could still save some money :-)
