They destroyed my stamps

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.

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.

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?

[KRR]

I’ve sent this card recently to a foreign friend and this is how it was arrived. It was a shock for both of us.

[helent]

Such a shame, especially when it was already cancelled properly.

[KRR]

Actually the fish stamp is still not cancelled. They’ve scribbled on the minisheet for nothing.

[aerobear]

Why? Why would anyone do this to such interesting stamps? Shake my head… (USPS responsible for this one)

[puodelis]

I don’t know where that other card came from
My sticker I got in Lithuania and I don’t know why they have put it
