Royal Mail: Three days left to use non-barcoded stamps

People can swap their old stamps for barcoded stamps through Royal Mail's Swap Out scheme, where there is no deadline for exchange. Royal Mail said: "A leaflet with a form was delivered to every household recently, but customers can also print out a form from our website; call our Customer Experience team to order one; or pick one up at a local Royal Mail delivery office or Post Office." Royal Mail says a £1.10 surcharge fee will be applied to mail sent using non-barcoded stamps. The move is part of the company's ongoing modernisation drive and will enable "Added security features" and "Pave the way for innovative services for customers in the future," said Matthew Parkes, managing director of Stamps and Collectibles at Royal Mail. "The barcodes will enable exciting new services by connecting physical stamps to the digital world through the Royal Mail app," the company said on its website.
