Sourced Directly Through Royal Mail's Swap-Out Scheme
All of our stamps are 100% genuine Royal Mail stamps, sourced through the official Royal Mail Swap-Out Scheme. This program allows businesses and individuals to exchange older-style stamps for new barcoded ones directly through Royal Mail. We’ve taken part in this scheme at scale, which enables us to offer authentic postage stamps at discounted prices. We understand some customers may be cautious — but rest assured, every stamp we sell is fully valid for use and originates from Royal Mail’s official processes. You're getting real postage at great value.

FAQ's
Are your stamps genuine?
Yes - all of our stamps are 100% genuine Royal Mail stamps. We source them through the official Royal Mail Swap-Out Scheme, which allows us to exchange older, non-barcoded stamps for new barcoded versions that are fully valid for UK postage.
Why are your stamps discounted?
We participate in the Royal Mail Swap-Out Scheme at scale, which allows us to obtain barcoded stamps in bulk. This enables us to offer authentic postage at a lower price - and pass those savings directly on to you.
Can I use these stamps for regular post?
Absolutely. Every stamp we sell is fully valid for standard use within the UK - whether you're sending personal letters, business mail, or parcels.
How are orders shipped?
We use Amazon’s fulfilment network to handle all our orders. That means your stamps are packed and shipped by Amazon, ensuring fast delivery, tracking, and reliable service every time.
