Royal Mail axing traditional stamps - and you may have to pay to receive post
People will be charged up to £3.50 to get their post when Royal Mail bans the use of traditional stamps.The postal service is introducing barcoded stamps next January and says it will not deliver letters and parcels bearing the old ones.They will be left at sorting offices with a “surcharge” – currently £2 a letter or £3.50 for a small parcel – to retrieve them. Campaigner Malcolm Booth said it would “make life most difficult for the elderly and vulnerable – the very people who use stamps the most”.
