Retailing Postage Stamps?

No2

Hi All,

I've a small shop in an area where there isn't a post office near by. My staff are always being asked for postage stamps! Does anybody know if an Post provides stamps wholesale to retailers? I know there are hundreds of non an Post affiliated outlets down the country which supply stamps, but don't know how they get them.

Or, is it just a matter of going to the local PO and buying stamps and selling them without a profit? I would consider this, as a service to my customers, but amn't hugely enthusiastic about it because in the main my customers are tourists, i.e. not regulars, and it mightn't be worth the hassle.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
No2

AFAIK you need a licence to sell stamps.

You could try the bizarre and out there idea of ringing your nearest main Post Office! :rolleyes:
