We reported a couple of months ago on the
changes to the postal charging system which
introduced pricing by size and weight.
The Royal Mail has now introduced a new
shopping facility for stamps which is aimed
at people working from home. To purchase
the ‘stamps’ users go online
and select first, second or international
deliveries and pay by credit card. The ‘stamps’ are
in the form of a barcode, without the usual
Queen’s head. The ‘stamp’ can
be printed directly onto an envelope. Alternatively
you could print onto a sticky label or paper
and attach it to the letter or package to
be posted.
The Post Office hopes that the new service,
available 24 hours a day, will reduce counter
queues!
