Royal Mail has announced plans to ban traditional stamps as they’re set to be replaced by a new barcode stamp system.

The postal service could also charge people up to £3.50 to receive their post after the ban.
Any parcels or letters with traditional stamps on them after the ban is in place will be left at sorting offices with a “surcharge” added.

People who receive items with the old stamps will receive a “fee to pay” card and be told to collect them from a sorting office.
This extra cost stands at £2 a letter or £3.50 for a small parcel.

Royal Mail said: “Non-barcoded stamps will remain usable until January 31, 2023.
