No Wonder AustPost Is Going Broke

I received two parcels in the mail this day, both had stamps on them. But none of the stamps were cancelled:

Already soaked them off and are ready to be reused.

Nice stamps Goldie.

I was sure that some of the AAT animal set shown were worth much more than face. Perhaps it was the 9c?

In the stamp collecting world, we call them "glue-stick stamps".

This reminds me I've almost run out of the stamps I got from PPH... wonder if there are any more available?

ausjack · March 18, 2015, 06:53:48 AM

only 9 left, I'm still using them, great value that's for sure

Receiving quite a number of items with uncancelled stamps. Are the AP workers too busy or too lazy to cancel them?

Like Goldy said, No Wonder AustPost Is Going Broke.

Maybe they want you to reuse them :blush2:

There is a lady that works at the little General Store that is also my Post Office that absolutely Loves it when I get a package with a mass of the older stamps in smaller denominations, as I nearly always strip the package and hand over the stamps to he for her collection.
I imagine that these stamps are probably sourced from unfranked letters in the first place which doesn't bother me in the least , As long as I get my package all is good.
I doubt that Aus Post is that concerned with the tiny percentage of postage stamps that are being "Reused" and they are a great source of stamps for some collectors anyway :good:

I hate throwing something away that someone else can make some use of
