Christmas stamps 2024

Post by Selhurst »

Anyone know if we are getting our usual quota of Christmas stamps this year? If we are when might we receive them?

I've no idea if we are, but if we do, then it's pretty much everyone's first Christmas Card of the season, so i would suggest close to 1st December.

Pretty certain it's one of the benefits we offer to try and attract new starters so we should be receiving them.

That's rubbish, it's there at the bottom of the list of benefits on the jobs site, there's possibly a qualifying period.

It's funny that they give out free stamps when they hate letters.

I wasn't really listening but I think anyone in post 1/9 got them.
If you joined after that then you wouldn't get them this year.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Got mine today but I think you do have to be employed by a certain date to qualify. I didn't get them when I first started as missed the cut off by a few days

These 50 stamps are worth £82.50. I am pretty sure most posties would prefer £82.50 be added to our Christmas £ bonus we typically get, rather than get stamps....

Surely sending us stamps doesn't help the business, I am sure many of us give them away. I give mine away to various family members and they pretty much never have to buy a stamp ever again.....not good for Royal Mail. 100,000 posties giving away up to 5 million stamps to the public. :crazy:
