Fantastic stamps.
ReplyDeleteThis is starting to get expensive!
ReplyDeleteIt is going to get very expensive - IF you can get the stamps at all! Are they only being released in London?

I couldn't find any Pembrokeshire POs selling them next (nearest seems to be Swansea) day but they will be at Haverfordwest, Milford Haven, Pembroke Dock etc on a weekly distribution.
DeleteSee Post Office website, use Branch Finder and select Gold Medal Weekly to find your nearest.
See previous blogs viz:

A lot of smaller POs will have the stamps several days after the main POs
I started getting sets & FDCs with single stamps for the first two days, now I have given up because it IS getting expensive. Why cannot we buy single stamps?
ReplyDeleteSingle stamps are - or will be - available, and FDCs can be submitted all month, irrespective of when you actually get the stamps. See other blog posts or our webpage for gold medal stamps.
DeleteI was told by the staff in Manchester that we could only buy them in sheets of 6, and when I took one off the sheet and put on the FDC they initially said I had to put ALL SIX on the FDC - until a more senior member of staff confirmed that just one was sufficient.
DeleteA lot of misinformation at PO Counter level, sadly. Probably because some of them never read instructions properly anyway.
