Look out for King Charles sheet stamps which are now being supplied to post offices.

The stamps of King Charles have been on sale for a while but have been slow to appear in post offices. But look out for more of them on your mail now because I have reports of 1st class, 2nd class and 1st Large counter sheets being delivered from central stores.


I have also seen other (not yet announced) values, printed back in February also being delivered as current stocks for use at Post Offices with no instruction not to sell until they are officially announced.

So look out for these on your mail, and if you or anyone you know buys stamps in Post Offices rather than supermarkets and corner shops.

    1. Dereham has the 20p and will probably start selling soon. Time for some pre-release covers?

    2. High Value Presentation Pack (FP018) is priced at £7.90. This would indicate that it will contain a £2 & £5 stamp only.

  8. I got a Charles 20p from a post office in Milton Keynes on 27 July, it was the last one on the sheet so they must have sold quite a few before that
