Sarah Wise Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 "Royal Mail is shaking up the rules on stamps, so if you've got a stash with the Queen's head on them that say '1st' or '2nd' class, or any other price – or they're Christmas-themed – then by 31 January 2023 you'll no longer be able to simply stick 'em on a letter and use them. That's because Royal Mail is moving to a new system using barcodes, which those stamps don't have on them." https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2022/02/anyone-with-stacks-of-stamps-at-home-has-less-than-one-year-to-u/ CitySafe and Mike at Vauxhall 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithm Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 But you probably use them in one mail out Mick right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Wise Posted February 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 Perhaps Keith, ... We know now to get that potential 1 mail out done before Feb 1st next year. Imagine the of being a few days too late and ending up 85 quid down . I'd end up being even more ££ down, as I'd have to go to the pub to get over the shock! kobblers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah Wise Posted February 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 Just had a peek on the Royal Mail website.They have extended the cut off date. "Regular stamps without a barcode* will no longer be valid after 31 July 2023. This follows the introduction of a 6 month grace period from the initial 31 January deadline. You can either use up your non-barcoded stamps before this new deadline or swap them for the new barcoded ones." keithm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
