Too little, too late. Royal Mail started this concept way back in 2000 soon followed by almost all the postal authorities. We were the first country to introduce Mail Coaches (from Kandy to Colombo) in Asia but that legacy has long gone.

Australia and other countries have been producing these personalised stamps (a.k.a. “P” stamps) for over 10 years!
