I had a problem in the local Post Office today.
Earlier in the summer we had bought stamps for a special delivery return envelope for some documents. It wasn't needed in the end so we just saved the stamps.
Today I tried to post a parcel - something I'd sold on Amazon - using these stamps. I took it all to the Posties and asked if they would accept the stamps . I even offered I put them on in front of them.
They wouldn't!
I pointed out that I'd bought the stamps off them a couple of months ago. Didn't matter. The postmaster explained that the 'machine' wouldn't be able to scan them! It had to be a printed 'stamp' label generated by them.
He said they were fine for letters but not parcels. I have 6 stamps at £2.65 each. That's a series of damn big letters!
I'm baffled. You buy stamps at an English Post Office and they won't accept them back on a parcel destined for an English address! What is going on!
Seems Orwellian to me!
