If you peel them off now though doesn't it leave behind a bit of the middle of stamp?
I was duped with a book of stamps recently- when i peel them out of the book some of them came out with a hole in the middle so i couldn't use them.
I used to reuse them but now I send so few letters that when i do send them I don't think it's worth the risk of a letter not arriving because the stamp is rejected
You do all realise that you are admitting an act of fraud don't you ?
You should be supporting your postal service not defrauding it .
The second class letter service that is offered to you is subsidised - you pay less for it than what it costs to deliver it . If the Royal Mail goes under (100 million loss last year) you will not get that subsidised service from whatever private company replaces it . It's YOUR postal service . You should cherish it .
( I'm a delivery postman b.t.w.)
No sherrardk , the postman didn't have to pay it . After holding on to surcharged items for a length of time they are sent out for delivery anyway, because it's easier than returning them to the sender . The item will be very much delayed though .
