Bearing in mind that both Jersey and UK stamps can be purchased in the same session and same transaction, the invoice should be interesting!Ian - Norvichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16436130277706268046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-33084486811963603362014-01-23T17:35:32.439+00:002014-01-23T17:35:32.439+00:00Just received an order form from Jersey for these ...Just received an order form from Jersey for these and it does show a UK price including VAT the prices are<br />Set of 6 values £4.16 whilst the price for FDCs and presentation packs are £5.37Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13155840629578289865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-72406526651577626632014-01-20T11:52:09.997+00:002014-01-20T11:52:09.997+00:00The words cash & cow spring to mind, but the s...The words cash & cow spring to mind, but the same can be said of Royal Mail, taking their machines on the road round the country with last year’s Australian odyssey and this year’s Korean adventure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-57194517173219087622014-01-17T15:54:35.209+00:002014-01-17T15:54:35.209+00:00Thanks Chris.

But these are not being imported as stamps (at least not the ones from the public access machine) so the VAT position is unclear.Ian - Norvichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16436130277706268046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-37260120775663666732014-01-17T14:20:14.457+00:002014-01-17T14:20:14.457+00:00The 'Jersey Post' Website now has details ...The 'Jersey Post' Website now has details of these stamps.Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-84765858597889862442014-01-16T15:44:33.038+00:002014-01-16T15:44:33.038+00:00The point about this "soft launch" is th...The point about this "soft launch" is that it is taking place in a territory ie The United Kingdom where the "stamps" are not valid for postal use which I would have thought is a vital criterion for defining an item as a "postage stamp" which is what philatelists generally collect. <br /><br />If Jersey Post troubled itself to establish one of the machines in Jersey where the stamps would be valid then I would obviously accept that these items are "postage stamps". Anything issued from a local machine would qualify for this status but something issued in another territory where it can not used on local mail is just a philatelic collectible.

This method is used throughout the retail sector. <br /><br />This approach enables any issues to be resolved prior to rolling-out to the general public. Collectors are an intelligent group, who are experts at giving valuable feedback to postal authorities and I see nothing wrong with this approach.<br /><br />Now if Jersey was never to roll-out locally in, say, the coming year, then that's another story and I would consider that to be inexcusable, unless the trial had proved to be unworkable of course. <br /><br />South Africa launched Frama II machine labels in a colourful array of designs and never launched the product to the general public and it is my understanding that they never had any intention of purchasing the machines. That was totally wrong, but the world kept on turning!
