This whole barcoding stamps fiasco would not be so critical if the post office had retained its mail delivery natural monopoly. You will never eliminate counterfeit stamps and people will not pay the outrageous £5'penalty because the sender bought the stamps not the fined receiver.
Plot twist: The ohh, so honest PO is swapping legit stamps for counterfeit, so they get the original stamp price PLUS the £5 fine that the recipient has to pay.
I already had to send off a book of stamps for replacement when they introduced the bar codes, let's not encourage them to do another pointless swap or worse.
Good scam , post office ! Take profits out to cover the travel/delivery costs buy using fake stamps but bill the consumer the same amount , knowing the fakes are less than half Price People who are guilty are those who do the accounts😊
On a serious note who uses stamps ? ... I suspect 95%+ of all royal mail letters\parcels are from franking machines for retailers or companies. I think very few individuals sent letters with stamps by comparison.
@@dougaltolan3017 trust me, I am well aware the Government, and the private sector will do nothing to help working people. However the idea that stamps are being faked, is more of a problem for Boomers than anyone else.
