Technically, since service had not been rendered for that stamp, you should have been provided one of equal value without having to pay for it (again).

Buy a glue stick!

I asked if they would give me another. I would have needed to remove the original intact to give it to them in return. Of course if I had been able to do that I wouldn't have needed a new one in the first place. The line was out the door. It wasn't worth the fight...

Unfortunately you get stuck twice. Since the stamp cannot be returned to be reused as per their regulations you'd be responsible for the second round of postage.

Glue sticks are fine, just can't seal the envelope with tape over the stamp.

I never knew that. I better watch myself, I'm a tape fanatic.

Remember before self adhesive stamps? If you had a book of stamps or partial book and they got wet and stuck together, you would be entitled to a replacement on them, because service was not rendered, and they are unusable in that condition. Those stamps could be replaced, provided they were actually on sale during the 12 months prior.

Ever put the stamp on and had to change to a different envelope? I did and the letter was returned "reused postage". I felt like a criminal and all I did was take my brand new stamp off of the envelope I mis-addressed and put it on a different envelope. All 'before' I mailed it the first time. It was the self adhesive and it stuck fine to the second envelope. Never did it again.
