HI Folks

Sorry if this has been talked about already but I need your help!

I have an OBA account, I have used it to send standard mail (royal mail 24) but always sent my signed for from the post office, I have used the signed for on my OBA account and printed the labels, I have noticed that there are barcodes on the label and what looks like a similar code that are on the orange signed for labels, do I need to add the orange signed for labels as well and can I add these to the same bag along with my royal mail 24 post or do they need to be seperate?

No I don't think you need to.

The orange ones will have the same format but are fixed and not generated by the computer. SO if you added the orange label you'd have 2 different numbers I think.

The orange labels are generally for the walk-in customers.

However, I don't work in the Post Office so please await confirmation from one of our POL colleagues.
