Default All Stamps are changing to one with a Bar Code next to it /old stamps a year to use

Any with Normal Stamps can use them for the next year.


If you have any over
you can fill in a Form to get them changed
to the New style stamp.







Where can I get a Swap Out form from?


[Our 'Swap Out' scheme will open on
31 March 2022 and from that date
you'll be able to get a 'Swap Out' form
from the following places: print one off our website;
contact Customer Experience and
we'll post one out to you;
pick one up from your
local Delivery Offices' Customer Service Point.
Please note swap out forms are not
available at Post Offices.

Non-barcoded stamps will remain
valid to use until 31st February 2023



Not long to go


[Note: Special Stamps with pictures on
and Christmas Stamps without a barcode
will continue to be valid and don't need to be swapped out.]


On the link
you fill in your address for
a form for swapping stamps,
they then post it to you

Or you can use your own printer,
to print a form.

Good to Know.


Some Folks Bought Bulk 1st class stamps
before the last Rise.

That's why I updated this thread
to help folks like that
get their stamps exchanged.

Best way to fill in the Online Form
they post the forms to you.


Or the cost of you printing 2 forms

Never needed to use stamps. Most postage these days is a prepaid sticker.

I get all the cards i post weighed now anyway. A couple years back i posted a Birthday card to N.Wales with a First Class stamp on it, but all the recipient got was a note from RM telling them more postage needed to be paid. So i don't risk it anymore.

Tomorrow is the Last day
to send, a Normal non barcoded stamp.

From Tuesday 1st of August
Any NON barcoded stamps used
will get a Extra Charge at the other end.

Nice of SkyNewsHD
to point that out today.

It's not just letters, I sometimes sell books and comics on eBay. They're (usually) small and light enough to print off a label and just drop in a postbox.

ED Balls is angry
on GMBHD itv he said no one told him

He has posted a birthday card
and is shocked they will have to pay a charge?

Of course, if he gets it posted today it will be fine.


The Average Recipient will get a
fee to pay, which is £1.10 for using older stamps
from Tomorrow.
[GMBHD itv reported]
