Yes it did just now. I bought twenty 10c stamps (€2) which will be hand delivered to my house for no additional fee. Ok I'm saying that now but I wouldn't be surprised if they never arrive at all.
Ask for the 'N' national stamps instead, when the price goes up these will be valid at the increased amount.Over the years, I've always bought stamps in those little dispenser boxes with rolls of 100 peel-off stamps. Any time the price went up I would buy enough stamps valued at the differential to use up the remainder of the box. Never had an issue. Never even occurred to me there might be an issue.
Yeah, I was actually given those the last time I bought a box. Amazing really how quickly stamps have gone out of fashion. I think I have about a decades supply on hands! Very little business use now, and no personal use apart from Christmas.Ask for the 'N' national stamps instead, when the price goes up these will be valid at the increased amount.
I've never sent Christmas cards. I say it's for environmental reasons but it's really because I'm lazy and disorganised.and no personal use apart from Christmas.
With the big price increases lately so many companies switched to digital correspondence and then for personal stuff you have email \ attachments.Yeah, I was actually given those the last time I bought a box.

I've reverted lately to printed/ posted correspondence with my bank - it's quicker than waiting in a queue either in person or on a phone!Amazing really how quickly stamps have gone out of fashion.
Yesterday I was in local post office in SoCo Dublin paying for a 9 euro stamp for a parcel. That was ok. So while I was there I asked the cashier to buy ten 10c stamps (for using to make up the value of older stamps that have the out of date prices on them)
Her superior butted in and said I can't be sold these. I asked why- he said because you cannot buy stamps (i.e not allowed to) for less than the value of a regular stamp (€1.25) I said grand give me thirteen 10c stamps so. No he said - you have to bring the envelope in and prove you are buying stamps for the shortfall.
God almighty - who would give An Post their savings or trust them with anything of real value. What a bizarre exchange.
Is what I was told true or did I have the misfortune to meet a Basil Fawlty character trapped in the body of an An post supervisor.
Big queue in local post office this afternoon, but the chap behind the desk worked liken a trojan blitzing through it.Sad to say but the customer service skills of some of the people in post offices leaves a lot to be desired, I know in my own town the majority of them are an incredible cranky group
Yes I reckon so. A right jobsworth.There's no such rule.
I suspect it is a local postmaster with his own local rule.
