12 x 1st Class Standard Self Adhesive Postage Stamps ( Random design )

There is nothing more annoying than going to post a letter, just to realise that you have no stamps to hand. This means that you need to walk to the nearest post office or corner shop and stand in the queue waiting for what feels like forever, only to realise that they only have second class or no stamps at all in stock; by this time you have missed the post of course!This is why it is important to make sure that every household has a set or book of stamps for such occasions; ready for the late Birthday/Christmas card delivery. Online delivery of these books of stamps is a great way to make sure that you are properly stocked up all year round.This particular book of first class stamps is intended for items that have specific dimensions and weight; specifically letters that have a weight of up to 100g, plus being 240mm in length, 165mm wide and 5mm thick. Being first class, they are prioritised to be sent as quickly as possible, with most letters being received within 1-2 days of delivery (specific details of this can of course be found on the official Royal Mail website).The stamps sold here are presented within a book of 12, and are self-adhesive, meaning that there is no need for the classic 'lick and stick' trick (an action that I particularly hate). They are left-over stamp designs from the 2012 Diamond Jubilee, and are duck-egg blue in colour with the traditional Queen's head displayed, still being valid from the date of printing.Overall, having a book of stamps to hand is essential for every household nowadays, and being able to have them sent via an online source before running out is extremely handy. Please note though that official Royal Mail letter dimensions are always changing, so having a book of larger letter/parcel stamps is also highly recommended.

As I have mobility issuesxand can't get to Post Office this is an ideal way to purchase stamps. A bit disappointed as I don't like those huge bar code stamps and the picture showed normal size stamps but they do the same job at the end of the day. Just wish they would state which type of stamps they are sending.

Good value for money

These stamps are absolutely fantastic. They look just like the picture and just like many other stamps I've seen, they really do look great, maybe even better than the ones you get in post offices. They arrived as promised, and I stuck one on the top right-hand corner of each envelope, and they looked excellent; very compatible with my envelopes, so I posted them. Then, to my delight the next day, the letters turned up at the correct destinations! I'm really thrilled with these stamps. The best purchase I've made ever.

My elderly mother is obsessed about always having a stamp in her purseShe was delighted to get this the next day as she had none left and couldn’t get out to get one never mind 12 !

Stuck to the letter

Can’t be used any longer as no bar code. Worked perfectly until post office decided to change.

Does the job
