New barcoded 1st and 2nd Class stamps

Royal Mail have recently introduced new barcoded 1^st and 2^nd Class stamps for their definitive ‘everyday’ and Christmas stamps. The introduction of the barcode will provide an additional security layer, as every stamp is unique.

The stamps will soon replace the non-barcoded stamps which will be slowly phased out and remain valid until the end of January 2023. You can find out more about the changes here: https://www.royalmail.com/sending/barcoded-stamps.

If you are unable to use up your non-barcoded stamps, from 31^st March 2022 Royal Mail launch their ‘Swap Out’ scheme to enable customers to swap non-barcoded for barcoded stamps. The scheme will be available through Galleon Stores and Post Office. Please get in touch with us or give us a call on 01803 842148 for more information.
