SAVE
A STAMP - The History
©ShinyCapstar.Com
Save a Stamp was initially invented as a way for
Coldstreamers to send messages to one another whilst
away on Operations and Courses (before everyone had an
e-mail and facebook account).
Now days, it is used to send messages to serving
Coldstreamers in Battalion. By
clicking on the mail man above,
you will be transported to a confidential form that will
allow you to send message to someone in the Battalion
(unfortunately, not for those in training or posted away
from the Unit).
Ideal for someone who wishes to send a message to
someone quickly but is unsure of their e-mail address,
postal address, or even a fun way of sending a message.
The Mail-Box will be emptied
every 72 hrs, but we cannot confirm or guarantee that
messages will be passed (hundreds of messages are received
monthly).
Please make sure you fill in as many details on the form as
possible, it makes the postman's job that little more
easier!

F.A.Q Section
So What's "Save a Stamp?"
Save a stamp has been created for you to get a message to
someone in Battalion. This person must be located in the
Battalion (explained later).
So what do I have to do?
Save a Stamp does all the work for you, and is very simple
to use. All you have to do is have some kind of basic
knowledge of the person who this message is intended for. It
works like this:
1. You click on the mail-man above, (The one with the Coldstream Capstar and Blue Red Blue Patch).
2. You fill in the fields, (who it's to, who it's from etc).
Remember the more information you can give will help in us
finding the person.
3. When you click on the "Save me a stamp" button on the
bottom left, the message will then be delivered
confidentially to an administrators e-mail address, and
forwarded on to the addressee.
Simple as that, and best of all IT'S FREE.............but
remember, your IP ADDRESS will be logged for offensive
messages that you try and send anonymously.
Why would I use "Save a Stamp?"
Imagine you want to get in touch with your mate, who you
last saw a few years back in the Battalion, or you are a
Coldstreamer attached overseas and want to get a message
back to Battalion.
You've forgotten
his Regimental Number, and don't know what Company he's in!
But you do know his full name.
By using "Save a Stamp", we'll get your message and between
all the admin team we're bound to track him down and give
him the message. After all, as we say, we are a
"Family Regiment".
Does "Save a Stamp" cost me
anything?
Defiantly not. As explained before, all we do is pass on
your message to the addressee. You are using "ShinyCapstar"
as a middle-man. If the person is away from Battalion
(leave, Course etc), but will be returning back shortly we
will leave the message in the internal post.
Is the information I supply
Confidential?
Absolutely. There will only be two people reading your
message. Firstly the Admin Member who receives the letter
who must identify who the message is for, and then must
check to make sure that the message is not abusive (don't
worry though, we all have a sense of humour). This message
will then be printed out and placed in an internal envelope,
sealed until the addressee opens it. We will also guarantee
that any information supplied is given to the addressee
only, and not to any unscrupulous third parties (you know
the one's that spam your e-mail address!).
This seems like a lot of work,
surely it can't be so simple, what's the catch?
No catch, no payment, no holds. Totally free, but if you
found this useful why not recommend it to a friend after all
ShinyCapstar will only grow with more interest!
How
can I confirm that my message has been delivered?
We will not reply back to individual messages to let you
know if it's been delivered. Hundreds of messages get to us every
week. We're sorry but we haven't the time to reply back to
everyone.
