They destroyed my stamps

[_Hawkwind_]

Meh, I was about to post the same!

[Kanerva]

Wow, thank you so much! No wonder I found nothing seeking princess Margaret… It was princess Mary all along! That is a nice stamp, though.

I received today this. I have never received a card that has lost its stamps before.

[Maddymail]

Recieved today.

Today’s atrocity

What's the deal with Pen Cancels?!

[Maddymail]

Initially thought it was marker pen cancelled, but recieved a Parcel cancellation on today’s letter.

@yudi interesting video, thank you for sharing, RM and USPS got featured quite alot there
I’m starting to embrace some pen-cancelled stamps as per the blogger in the video.

[birdsatemylunch]

If only there was some sort of ink rubber stamp to cancel the stamps more easily…

Actually, just got at the end of the video. It seems like pen cancellation has a fair point to prevent reuse. Understandable… but… ugh…

[yudi]

Oh no

[vireolanius]

This bear and I share the same emotion.

[LC-Canada]

Thanks Yudi - Fascinating video - I learned a lot!

[Oviroy]

Postmark just left the conversation.

[puodelis]

Now I can say the same

The local post put a sticker on the stamp…

[_Hawkwind_]

Look! I found a relative of your card.

[SAM__44]

What are those stickers that distroyed the stamps for??

[yudi]

Is it registered mail? Why using stamps and barcode?

[katiemmj]

And I got BOTH! And a good old pen cancel too

Edited to add: this is the stamp I missed out on…

[yudi]

I don’t understand.
It’s a card from Lithuania to you in UK. Why is there a barcode from Germany?

[katiemmj]

I think Lithuanian post travels first to Germany before plane to UK, so I got extra stickers

[yudi]

This is incoming mail to you, right?
Lithuanian Post also put sticker on incoming mail? Not only outgoing mail?
