where are my stamps

Post by WARDY »

can someone please inform me if supply chain and post office personnel are getting free stamps this year. As it is too near Christmas and nothing arrived then I take it that since post office and royal mail split then the stamps have now stopped all I can say is lousy bustards

None of us at my Crown Office received any.
But then I don't want them anyway...

It was Royal Mail which issued the "free stamps" and as the Post Office is no longer part of the Royal Mail Group, Ms Vennells announced last year that the ones last year would be the final allocation. In fact we have not even received a Christmas Card from her/ the Post Office.
Merry Xmas from the scrooges at the Post Office!!!

As the Post Office has split from Royal Mail, giving out free stamps to POL staff would now be liable for income tax, in a way that they weren't before. That's why there was a smaller allocation of stamps last Christmas and none this year. Several other staff benefits finished at the same time for the same reason, such as free Redirections & Keepsafe for POL staff and reduced premiums on Travel Insurance for RM staff.
