How to exchange your stamps:

- Check the value: Check the value of your stamps using a stamp catalog or online resources. Make sure they are still valid for exchange.
- Fill out the form: Download and complete the Royal Mail Stamp Exchange form (available on the Royal Mail website). You can also request a form by calling Royal Mail's customer service number (03457 740 740).
