You've 100 days left to use 1st and 2nd class stamps without barcodes – or you can swap them for free

To stop stamps becoming worthless, you can exchange them NOW via 'Swap Out'

Don't think you'll use your old stamps in time? Royal Mail's 'Swap Out' scheme lets you exchange these stamps for free.  

You'll need to complete a standard 'Swap Out' form for stamps worth up to £200, or a Bulk Stamp 'Swap Out' form for stamps worth more than £200.

How to request a Swap Out form

There are three ways to get a standard form: 

• Print out the form from Royal Mail's website (link opens a PDF). If you don't have access to a printer, you can instead complete a web form and request for it to be posted to you.
  
  
• Phone Royal Mail's customer services team on 03457 740740 and ask for a form to be posted for free. Calls to this number are capped at your standard geographical rate, so check with your phone network how much it'll cost beforehand.
  
  
• Visit your local delivery office where you can pick up a form and envelope in person. ALL delivery offices will stock them. Note that you can't, however, collect forms from post office branches. 

If you need a Bulk Stamp Swap Out form, you can print this out from the Royal Mail website (link opens a PDF) or request one online or by calling the Royal Mail customer services number above. 

There's no limit on the number of forms you can request.
