nectarine Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Please help - I have a lot of blue French stamps and some red French stamps, but can't remember which are for France-only and which are for Europe!

Âme Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Hi Nectarine, the red are for France, blue are for the rest of Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babbles Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 The way I remember for stamps, is the blue ones go abroad by airmail like the blue airmail stickers (this might not always be technically true but it helps me remember !) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 There was a recent rise in postage costs. However, I was told that I can continue to use my old red and blue stamps (I bought in bulk unknowingly before the rise) and I did not need to pay for any extra stamps. I hope that this is right. Certainly, I have been using the old stamps and no one has complained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBC65 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 As the stamps don't show the cost/value on them they are always valid, irrespective of the price you paid for them. Always worth buying a couple of 'carnets' before the next price increase!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nectarine Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 Thanks again and, Babbles, that was a really useful tip ... that the blue stamps are international and the same colour as the 'Air Mail' sticker that you put on. I shall not forget that now !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
