Are royal mail refunds paid in stamps

A question that gets to the heart of British postal culture!

According to Royal Mail's refund policy, refunds for undelivered items, overpayments, or other errors are typically paid in the original payment method. This means that if you paid by cash, the refund will be given in cash. If you paid by credit/debit card, the refund will be credited back to your card.

However, there is an exception for refunds related to postal orders or stamps. If you paid for a postal order or stamps and are due a refund, Royal Mail may offer to refund you in the form of stamps or a postal order, rather than cash or credit/debit card.

In practice, this means that if you're due a refund for a postal order or stamps, you might receive a new postal order or a set of stamps with the same value as the original payment. This is a convenient option for customers who prefer to use stamps or postal orders for their postal needs.

It's worth noting that Royal Mail's refund policy is subject to change, so it's always a good idea to check their website or contact their customer service team for the most up-to-date information on refunds and payment methods.
