    Yes, those are the usual rip-off commemorative coins - if you feel rich enough to pay £13.99 for a 50p coin. :hate-shocked:

    The new stamps won't appear until they have pushed out the stock of the current ones that they have printed.

      Must admit I tend to send ECards to younger or more computer savvy family and friends these days.

        Received my replacement stamps today from royal mail.
        God knows how much this lot is costing.
        They came with two very nice letters explaining how it works from the customer swap out support team.:rolleyespink:

        Apparently I had £9.30 worth so glad I did it.

          I took mine to the post office using an envelope with the freepost address, it was the first time the lady behind the counter had heard about it! She even said it was an incorrect address with no post code. I wish they would just have swapped them there and then.

            Well, I would have though the post office could just swap them, but I was once told off:biggrin:, by a postman, for saying he worked for the post office.
            Apparently two different companies, Royal Mail, and The Post Office.
