Royal Mail: 100 days left to use stamps without a barcode

Royal Mail is urging people to use up stamps that do not have a barcode by 31 January, when they will no longer be valid for postage. It says the deadline in exactly 100 days affects "Everyday" stamps featuring the late Queen's profile. It says further details on the launch of stamps featuring King Charles will be made at the appropriate time after consultation with the Royal Household. Royal Mail introduced barcoded stamps in February, saying they would open up possibilities for "New innovative services." Royal Mail, which hopes customers will use those stamps this Christmas, has sent leaflets to 31 million homes and placed adverts in newspapers, on the radio and on social media.
