Sep 13, 2026, 5:54 PM@Thayer writing the Reform freepost address on an envelope may not work as you suggest due to the rules about Business Response Freepost

ThayerThayer@mastodon.socialSep 13, 2026, 6:12 PM@stsresident do educate me! How so?
Sep 13, 2026, 7:59 PM@Thayer @stsresident it *may* work with the license number only printed as text. these days the envelopes have a barcode that encodes the same license number, and I'm not sure if it's mandatory to include that now.
the address you showed is a Freepost address though, not a Business Reply address.

@Thayer @stsresident Royal Mail shows that license number as not existing though, so you might wanna check the source of it.

@Thayer @stsresident aha! the freepost license number you've got there is the old one from last year that no longer exists. you want the new one;

@gsuberland @stsresident thank you have updated!!! I did try and check and couldn't find anything else, so thanks so much for the help 😊 🥰

@gsuberland also how do you know so much (very cool), are you a postie?

@Thayer nope, not a postie. I honestly can't even remember what context I learned about this in. ADHD is one hell of a drug.
