Online Postage



Buy your postage online and you’ll never run out of stamps again. Discover how to buy and print your postage direct from any Mac or PC in three simple steps.

Step 1 – Purchase your postage
Decide where your item is going and what delivery service you require.

  • Pick the postage you want 
  • Fill in the recipient’s address – and, optionally, your own address  
  • Choose to print on to a label, envelope or paper 
  • Log in or register to use Online Postage 
  • Make secure payments online using your prepay account, credit card, or debit card (if you’re spending more than £3.50).

Step 2 – Print your labels

  • Print your postage* onto a label (A4, A5 or A6), envelope or paper 
  • If you have any problems printing you can re-print your postage at no extra cost, as long as it’s before the expiry date of your label.

Step 3 – Send your mail

  • Put your postage onto the item you’re sending 
  • Post your mail by the end of the next working day after purchase 
  • For international mail, you can print out pre-populated customs forms 
  • A pre-populated Certificate of Posting can also be printed (you’ll need to get this validated at a Post Office™ branch)   
  • Remember: you can only use your postage once.


* You will need to download the free Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 or higher to print your postage.
