Not in the FAQ:
"If this is so important, why don't these changes apply to special stamps?"
and
"You're designing new stamps, but you're putting the Late Queen on them, not the new King?"
- londons_explore 4y agoFraud levels on special stamps are still low. And because lots of people have collections if special stamps and would baulk if they all became unusable. Don't worry, they'll add barcodes on those too when fraud switches to them. Royal mail is a slow company... They'll take a long time to update the design.
- maratc 4y agoAlso not in the FAQ: "I'm 90 years old and I don't know what 'download an app' or 'fill the form online' even mean. Provided you don't swap stamps at the post office, what you suggest me to do?" But these won't even read this online-only announcement, so I guess ... screw them.
- bear8642 4y ago>online-only It's printed on envelopes recently arrived currently. That's how I heard about this
- maratc 4y agoIt could be that the announcement on the envelopes had some "off-line" instructions; this (online) announcement has none.
- andrewaylett 4y agoWe got a form through our letterbox with our post yesterday -- I'm assuming that the OP also got one, and that's why we're seeing the news here today.
- DocTomoe 4y agoI would expect them to make more money selling special stamps to collectors (who then quickly make them disappear without ever using them) than they make by delivering mail. Better not disturb a business line like that.
- nicky0 4y agoPretty sure this page was originally published in early 2022, well before Elizabeth’s demise. No doubt Charlie will be appearing on the next batch.
