You could try a kiosk. You might have to buy a postcard or two though. Otherwise, try a neighbour.

You will quite often find a stamp machine outside the post offices or train stations

Re: Where to buy stamps except in the Post Office

There used to be a lot of them, but most of those I knew of have gone. I think there is a method of do-it-yourself at home but I've no idea how it works.

I think this is it.

This is a great service, but I need to get stickers to print them on and they are in the office, which is further than the delivery address....Looks like the old fashioned 'BY HAND' way is going to the only way today !

Re: Where to buy stamps except in the Post Office

Most Kiosks sell postage stamps: you don't have to "buy" anything else; it is a part of their offer.

You can print them directly on the envelope, or on regular paper and glue them on too.

Re: Where to buy stamps except in the Post Office

I did wonder if you could do this, but i was thinking of Sellotape, I don't want to print all 16 on one envelope though, I stopped at payment so did not see the print options. Can you print 16 say on to 16 envelopes?

Unfortunately the writer could be in Heaven by then

This is a good thread and might come in useful at another time to other readers but the letter I wanted to send is now on the move via Poste de Wife
