We are delighted have a fully functioning Royal Mail Post & Go machine in our Archive Search Room foyer from today. After installation and testing last Friday the machine is now operational and available to visitors. This makes the BPMA the first place to get a permanent Royal Mail Hytech Post & Go machine outside an exhibition environment.

Post & Go machines produce self-adhesive stamps on demand and are usually located in Post Office branches. Post & Go stamps are proving to be very popular with collectors and we are expecting long queues in our Search Room foyer today.
Our Post & Go machine holds two different stamp designs, which will be changed 3-4 times a year. The first stamps will be the special Christmas Robin and the standard Machin designs. A unique overprint has been especially designed for the BPMA machine, reading “The B.P.M.A.”.

Please note that the machine only accepts credit and debit cards, and is only available to visitors to the BPMA.

Why does this machine still have the Christmas Robin stamps in it when Christmas is long over? Surely if the Union Flag was put in its place more stamps would be sold to collectors.
Brian, we are in discussions with Royal Mail about this at the moment. When new designs are available we’ll announce that here and elsewhere.
Will they be selling the new 2nd class stamps from 20th February in this machine
The Robin design will be replaced by the Union Flag on Thursday 21 February, the second day of Stampex. We will review the inclusion of the 2nd Class stamp once it becomes available within the Post Office Limited Post & Go network in April.
Thanks.
