It’s such a stupid system too - you receive a note saying “pay us £5 to deliver your post” with no way of knowing what they were trying to deliver - it could be something important, it could be someone sending a blank envelope just to annoy you and waste your money.
Best advice is to get some fake stamps, fill an envelope with old roof tiles, put the fake stamps and the address of someone you don’t like on the envelope and send it off
“Any allegation that fake stamps have been purchased at a Post Office is extremely serious. The implication of such an allegation is that one of our postmasters, or a member of their staff, has obtained fake stamps and have chosen to sell them to customers rather than selling legitimate stamps that have come from Royal Mail’s secure printers.
“This is why we insist that any customer who thinks they may have purchased a fake stamp from a Post Office must produce an itemised receipt so that this can be looked into further.
Fucking ass covering bullshit. Just ignore the most likely reason, which is that your readers are malfunctioning, and avoid investigating because who the fuck keeps receipts for stamps?
They’re charging (fining) the recipients £5 to collect the post so the people they’re robbing couldn’t possibly have the relevant receipt anyway.
They better have some very good evidence that the problem is not with their stamps given the decades-long saga with the Post Office (which started years before Royal Mail was sold off as a separate entity).
