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.
