  • Where do small stores & newsagents buy postage stamps from wholesale?

    Posted by admin on February 22nd, 2010 and filed under wholesale stores | 3 Comments »

    In the UK is there a law that says Royal Mail stamps have to be retailed at a particular price, no more no less?
    How much markup do retailers get?

    Stores do not make any profit on the sale of stamps. They offer the stamps as a ‘convienence’ to their customers in the hopes that people will shop in their store for more than just the stamps.

    I hope that helps.
