Millions of first and second class stamps to be axed in Scotland from next year
09.02.2022 - 15:37 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Scots have been urged to use up their remaining batches of first and second class stamps ahead of a rule change coming into force from next year.
From January 31, 2023, the current stamps with the Queen’s head on them will be replaced with ones that contain a barcode alongside it.
The rule change will also mean that seasonal ones, such as the ones in circulation over Christmas, will also no longer be valid from this point, the Mirror reports.
An exception will be made for special commemorative stamps, such as the ones found in the Doctor Who collection, which will continue to work after January 31 next year.
The Royal Mail will allow Scots to exchanged their existing stamps for the new barcoded ones for free under a new scheme from next month.
This initiative, which has been named by Royal Mail as the ‘Swap Out’ scheme, will open from March 31, 2022 and will close on March 31, 2023.
Under this scheme, Scots will need to fill out a form before posting their no longer valid stamps back to the Royal Mail.
MoneySavingExpert’s Martin Lewis has urged people to use up their current stamps to avoid being left out of pocket.
