    Just put a 55c stamp on a letter only to find they've hiked the rate 60c.
    I'm not in the mood to go buying 5c stamps.
    What will happen to my letter.
    Thank you.

    It'll get delivered 11/12ths of the way and will have to walk the rest.

    Put your own address as the delivery address and the return address as where you want it to go :pac:*



    *Quite possibly mail fraud, do not do this.

    It'll take 12 months to get there

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    The recipient will be asked to fork out the remaining 5c at the other end thus cementing you in their mind forever as The Mean Cunt.

    Always choose a postal stamp provider that doesn't indicate the amount paid. Make a purchase of stamps from a postal service provider that honours the stamps forever not some mickey mouse operation...

    And you're permitted to use a UK stamp when origin is The Republic of Ireland?
