Local Posts

'Local Posts' usually issue 'Carriage Stamps' or Freight Labels indicating prepayment of service for forwarding mail or goods to regular Postal Authorities or via private transportation.

Included here are territories, classes or entities not listed by the Universal Postal Union (UPU) whose stamps are intended to move mail.

Further included is any political entity (EnenKio Atoll, Greenpeace, Okusi-Ambeno ...) that issues stamps - even for just economic reasons. - This intrudes into the region of 'Cinderella' stamps.
Christmas Post Stamps in the UK

"Christmas posts have been operated by scout and other groups since legislative sanction was passed in 1981 (in the UK). Most groups have issued stamps of some kind, often self-adhesive, others have simply applied a handstamp (cachet). Readers interested in these issues are reminded that a new issue service for the stamps issued in 2001 and future years is run by:

John Crabbe
2 Field End, Stourport-on-Severn, CY13 8UD, UK
(who has taken over the service from Peter Duck. Peter however still has stock of 1981-1999 issues):
