Freepost

If a postal address is designated Freepost, would a letter (or whatever) sent to that address take longer to arrive than a first class stamp? Ta Muchly.

No. It may be free for the person who posts it but the addressee pays

[mccfluff]

its only freepost to you, the recipient pays so it depends on whether they are paying first or second class

Many Thanks to You Both - answers my question clearly, even though the postage must be third class, going by the time it's taking to receive summat back, but then that's my moan over and mustn't detract from the Thanks!

As the others have said the recipient pays, Woodelf.....and the letter will take longer to arrive than a first class stamp because of the extra handling by Royal Mail.

Many Thanks gness for that extra bit of clarity.
