    Smartstamp - Online Postage - Royal Mail

    Smartstamp - Online Postage - Royal Mail

    Whilst I usually use PPI, Sometimes I still use smartstamp for odd items and Im totally amazed at the lack of knowledge from a lot of the post office counter staff.. Occasionally, I get a picky member of staff - the products I send are loose and most items go through the Large Letter sizing...
