Are they not stamping stamps anymore?

[Philippine Mango]

Has the post office decided not to 'stamp' stamps anymore on incoming mail? Every letter I get now doesn't have one of those 'stamps' on it, how come?

You mean postmarks? 'cuz those are definitely still there.

Yea, postmarks, ever peice of mail I've been getting in doesn't have a post mark on it, how is that even possible unless they're not postmarking stamps?

Somebody is stealing all your mail before it gets to the post office and hand-delivering it. It's sort of an anti-crime, like breaking and decorating.

My Presorted stuff (aka bills and other bulk mailings) isn't postmarked. Don't remember if they ever have done that. But stamps DEFINITELY should be postmarked, as should metered stuff (the meters actually print the postmark on with the postage). Electronic stamps probably aren't postmarked, just the traditional sticky-type.

The last thing that I got that was traditionally stamped was postmarked. The junk mail isn't though.

Hmmmm, if it's not post-marked, is it reuseable?
A bit of steam, perhaps, and slap it on another envelope?

And yeah, you could theoretically reuse the stamps if they're not postmarked. I think the OP is delusional.

I've noticed that they are going to spray on cancels from an ink cancel.

Some times you just get lucky, and they miss the stamps!
