> Can I take my stamps to the Post Office to swap them out?
> No — you can't swap your non-barcoded stamps out at a Post Office. You will need to pick up a 'Swap Out' form and send in your non-barcoded stamps to Royal Mail (free post address on the form). Print one off our web site; 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.
This is batshit stupid. What's the point of a post office if it can't help you with stamps?
- londons_explore 4y agoPost offices are an independent business from royal mail. So they generally want to be paid for every service they offer, and I guess royal mail doesn't want to pay the fee. Also, this swapout is in part to eliminate fraudulent stamps. The post office won't have the necessary high tech equipment to separate the real stamps from the (very good) fakes.
- daveoc64 4y agoSince privatisation, the Post Office is a separate company to Royal Mail. While the Post Office does sell a lot of Royal Mail products, there are some that the Post Office has deemed unprofitable, and as such, the Post Office has nothing to do with.
- FridayoLeary 4y agoIt is stupid. Many things that were once trivial to do in a post office now have extra hurdles.
- fy20 4y agoNot stupid, it was very profitable for some of the Conservative Party MPs and their buddies who allowed it to be privatised.
