Can anyone tell me if I can get a refund for 2nd class stamps, they have been cut off unused envelopes which i did not send.
Thanks
Nope - if they have no value displayed there are "eternal" stamps and there is no expiration date and can be used at any time.

However, if they have been through they system, even if not visibly cancelled there are ways that re-used stamps can be spotted. In those cases it has been known for Royal Mail to prosecute persistent offenders. Accidental use of a used stamp will delay the item and cause the receiver to be charged for the cost of postage + £1.
ive only heard of one person procecuted for reusing stamps

Is there some sort of 'technology' in the stamp paper itself? Not sure...
there are bars for first or second in the stamp if you look

No matter whether you think it's acceptable or you won't get caught it's still fraud.
What kind of pathetic,underachiever makes themselves a criminal for the sake of a few quid?
I would have more respect for someone who just got on with it and robbed a bank,at least they would be trying for a life changing amount of money.
Coward-thieves are the worst kind,they are the same kind of people that sneak in early and steal the milk from the fridge..
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
