Yes mine came back the other day and they have included Ip and 2p ones I had sent as well. All with the Queen's head on.

My replacement stamps turned up this morning. I had sent in £9.50 in large second class stamps. In return they have sent me ten of the new first class stamps. That is fine as I hardly use the large stamps. They have the queens head on them

Not sure Liz but the new ones are already on sale. But maybe, who knows?

Would it have anything to do with the fact that King Charles’ head will be on the new ones?

LindainHerriotCountry, it took quite a few weeks from me sending mine back to get the barcoded ones. :-)

I sent in about £10’s worth of large second class stamps a few weeks ago as I had accidentally bought extra ones without realising I had already got plenty. I haven’t heard a thing about them. Maybe they are lost in the post :-S

Florence I think because of the reaction by the public and the statement that it will mean many many stamps going to waste.

I think pressure was put on them.

I did wonder about the rush to exchange, I would have thought a lot would have been used for the Christmas post. You were then going to have a couple of weeks after to exchange the remainder.

That's good news because I have 1st class stamps that I haven't used :-)
