Used Postage Stamps

[barkingmad]

Not sure..but if you drop a line in the letter to the gentleman who you are sending them to, I am sure he will let you know.

how many stamps is enough to be worth sending off because i started saving them at christmas but have only got about 20 because most of our letters are franked.

Hi Winona,

if you bring them to the june meet I will add them to mine and send them in from both of us, hopefully the school will have dropped off theirs by then!


Also Mr Rapley has been in touch and sent a cheque for the used stamp collection of £14, he saod a lot of folk dont leave their name but to the few who do thank you very much. Mr Rapley kindly doubled the cheque to celebrate his start of his pension . So thanks all who keep collecting and sending the stamps!

[barkingmad]

Well I have just gathered all the stamps that my Girlguiding County have been collecting, the whole lot that Ihave just found has filled a small box!! About a size of a toaster!!!

Will pop it in the post tommorow if I get up in time otherwise it will go on Monday!! I'm very impressed because I had to really push the last lot in. Been collecting them since January!!

Ooh, asking for stamps on Freecycle (or Freegle as it now is in Birmingham) is a great idea. Was about to send my collection in, but will hold off for a couple of weeks now.

Hi,

I have asked people tin the past to save their old stamps on Freecycle and drop them off at a local community centre. I ended up collecting bags full of them! Towards Xmas time is a great time to ask about it on Freecycle as that is when people tend to get a lot stamps sent to them from Cards. I am planning to remind people about it on the run up to Xmas. It's a great idea.

do you have to cut right round the stamps or is it ok to send the ripped off corner of the envelope. i have a bundle now so ready to send off.

I have started to remind my Guiding County to collect again as they haven't as much latly. But expecting to have a anohter large collection by xmas.

If anyone knows how much we have colllected over the summer I've sent a few small boxes.

Hi Parent,

I cant remember off hand but its in the newsletter I think, I think the last cheque we had was for around £15 but obviously it depends on how many stamps he has been sent!

[roqchiq]

Am just about to post on Freegle to ask for more used stamps as I got a great response last time!

Just checking though, the newsletter mentioned sorting them. Is first, second and other OK?

Hi i've not long sent my stamps and thats what i done,it also says this in the winter issue of the hmsa newsletter, you just need to make sure that it is clearly marked that the stamps are for the hmsa hope this helps
