Can First Class Stamps Be Traced

[Mizunderstood]

Hi all

 

i won't go into specifics but I've received an anonymous letter. It was sent with a first class stamp. 
 

i was wondering can the new barcoded stamps be traced to at least an area where it was purchased? 
 

not necessarily the sender but the shop/post office it was bought from?

thanks

This is the best that I could find, but I think that you might be disappointed, Mizunderstood.

Even if they could be, you wouldn't be able to get the information you wanted due to data protection - you are not the customer, the person who bought the stamp is.

If it's a criminal matter the police might be able to get that information - if it's possible

Is the postmark no help? The stamps could have been bought anywhere, even on line.

Thanks for the replies. Would the police be able to tell where it was bought?

its not bad, just telling me of my partner's infidelity, and screen shots of their 'chats' this is not the first letter I've received.

I don't know if the police could find out.  Have you asked your husband if he has any idea who is sending them?  That's the first thing the police would do if they decided an offence is being commited.
