Cheap stamps

[Mertyvw]

Hi guys i was wondering if anyone know where i can get cheap stamps i sell stuff on eBay and i need at least 100 1st class stamps a week!  I buy them for 55p now but i need something cheaper.

You can get them from the petrol station that sells cheap petrol! Failing that I have some used ones going cheap.

I bought a few hundred just before the prices went up for about 35p each... now it seems v.difficult to get them less than 50p ea.

They sell stamps at less than the face value but only in 100 quantities iirc.

If you are sending that much stuff, have you considered a franking machine?

Is this possible ? Where do they get them from then ? We could miss them out and got to their supplier , who must be Royal Mail ??

I was told by Royal Mail the last time i bought 500 that it was impossible to get them less than face value , bit like buying £5 notes for £4.80 ??

If you volume is high enought you might be able to get a business acount (we have one), postage rates are lower than franking machines) and we also qualify for free collections as we spend more than £15000 per year on mail (we spent £27K with them last year

Looks like he spends around £3000 per year on postage. I dont think that would be applicable! 

Business account might be a possibility with TNT/UKMail etc. Cheaper than Royal Mail possibly.

You can still get a business account, you just dont get free collections, you drop it off yourself or pay for collections (£600 per year I think)

Pretty sure you can get less than 100 at a time at Costco, I've had some before and pretty sure it wasnt 100.

LIke other have said - a franking machine. e.g. a 90p large letter when franked is 66p.  First Class is 44p vs 60p is it now.

I cant yet make a business account but yeah i will give costco ago right now i get the for like £55 but it would be very good if i can get them at £50 i need a 100 stamps every 2 weeks for defo but sumtimes i use 100 stamps two days
