At the end of this month, thousands of Royal Mail customers could be hit with extra postage fees. The company is about to add barcoded stamps to replace the older ones – and that means thousands of stamps may soon be unusable.
Customers are now being asked to either use any stamps they have left or swap them for the new barcoded ones using a “Stamp Swap Out” form.
Customers have until January 31 to use the old stamps as after this time, only barcoded stamps with the Queen’s profile on, or non-barcoded Christmas or special collection stamps can be used.
