Signed For Orange Sticky Labels

Post by pacifiq »

Hello all,

Recently I've been browsing eBay and have found these self-adhesive orange labels (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153612631512) which seem to be interesting. However, I can't seem to find how to actually use them!

I'm guessing:

1. Stick it onto the parcel/letter
2. Handwrite the address next to it on the parcel
3: take it down to the local PO to pay for it, collect POP through a receipt and get an acceptance scan

Is this how they're supposed to be used?

Many thanks

That's all correct. But there is no point paying for them, the Post Office will put one on each parcel for free.

Thanks for the reply. If I were to use them myself, would I use the same tracking number that's on the label or use a different one given to me by the PO?

If you stick your own label on then the PO will probably use that.
