I think they're slightly underselling computers and printers there :lol:

Average Joe can barely print an address on an envelope, let alone a bar-code :frusty:

We're predicting how many millions of people will attempt to send multiple letters using the same barcode :smilie4:

Stamps are for suckers.

Simply leave the stamp off, switch the placement of the addresses, and the letter gets "returned" for no postage to the person you really wanted it to go to in the first place. ;)

I think in the UK the Postie is entitled to give you a kicking if you do that. :shifty:

I believe it's actively encouraged, enough said

And also it would be pretty fucking obvious to the sorting office, unless you stay near to the person.

Yeah, I've tried it twice to relatives that are out of state and the letters have always come back to me. But intrastate letters always make it. :whistling

Coz in this country the person you sent it to with no postage gets a demand for payment plus an admin fee, and tend to get a little annoyed about it. Whoops.

Stick sellotape over the stamp and then you can simply rub off the postmark and re-use it.
