Strange, so does this mean that if you use a stamp multiple times they
will charge your account or credit card?


A bloke on "Today" implied that they'd consider the postage to have been
not paid on packages whose stamp barcode has previously been scanned.

So they've designed a broken system and then dropped the broken pieces
on the general public. I can't see how this is any better than a book of
stamps.

You have a package - a present maybe. It's getting close to the last
collection for the day. You have a book of first class stamps, but the
postage value required for your package isn't an integral number of
32p multiples.

You can:

- use yout first class stamps and subsidise Royal Mail the difference
- take a trip to your local post office and queue
- print your own stamp to the correct value

- take the correct selection of 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p and 50p stamps from
the stamps tin.


I know which I will do when this happens (and it does).

Yup.
