Watch our exclusive Shaun the Sheep videos
Our new barcoded stamps enable you to watch and share exclusive Shaun the Sheep videos via the barcode itself using the Royal Mail App. The recipient can then watch the selected video just by scanning the stamp barcode using our App — giving that someone special something extra to smile about.
One of these videos features little Timmy the Sheep sending a special Mother's Day card to his mother. There are several others too. One video features Shaun and his flock in a mischievous and amusing short encounter with Rita, a hard-working Royal Mail postie. The available videos will change over time, so keep looking to see what is available.

You can still use a barcoded stamp for postage even if you do not attach a video to it, in which case your recipient will instead be able to watch a default video by using the Royal Mail App to scan the barcoded stamp.
There may be instances where your video is not visible to your recipient, for example when a video has been updated before your recipient scans the barcode on the stamp, or if the barcode on the stamp has been damaged or defaced and therefore cannot be read by the Royal Mail App.
The video will remain visible for your recipient for a period of time, even if the video is replaced as an available option on our App. As long as you post your item promptly this will allow plenty of time for it to get to your recipient.
No. The ability to view exclusive videos is completely free of charge, to both you and your recipient (except for the cost of the original barcoded stamp) so, to the extent permitted by law, we accept no liability if it does not work as intended.
