Has everyone got their Free Stamps yet?

Post by CHUCKYPIG »

I asked a few others in my DO and everyone has got them already. Haven't got mine yet.

Has everyone else got theirs yet? Is it true we get 50 1st class stamps?

Got mine.

I don't know what to do with them, though. The last time I used stamps was before the Internet was created. :confused

They go straight in my "drawer of crap" with my flat batteries and Ikea flat pack spanners.

There better than the shares as they are guaranteed to increase in value every year! :nana

Mine arrived at the weekend, x50 first class stamps. For those that don't use them have you thought about donating them to a local charity?

Those saying just gets thrown in a drawer - Just in case people don't realise, you don't have to use them to send only letters. You can add several to a parcel and just add up the current cost of a number of first class letter stamps, then if you require a few pence to make it up to the cost of sending a parcel, pay the extra when you send at the post office. It's free money basically if you send anything.

Or anyone that does just throw them in a drawer - if you really don't want them, why not donate them to a charity. Passing them on to somewhere like a local hospice will make a difference for them, in an area where any help would always be appreciated.

Or hang on to them as an investment as the price of stamps gives a far better return than the shares make!

Got mine today :-) Along with lots of other stuff. In fact our only post this week. So think there was a bit of a backlog at our local DO
