RM stamp swap out

I got a leaflet through the door on Friday about this. I can't remember the last time I actually used a stamp if I'm being honest.
 
Just found some large letter stamps and I'm unlikely to use all of them by the deadline. How long does the stamp swap out take? Is it taking any longer at the moment due to the ongoing industrial action?
 
Got the new stamps back yesterday, even though I sent a mix of 2nd and 1st class they just sent 1st class back (same value though apparently)

because there are fakes all over ebay these days and people reuse stamps that were not marked in the black ink, plus the barcode has some advantages i think

I think the idea with QR codes is that each one is unique. So once a stamp has been scanned, the stamp cannot be used again. If a sender attempts to reuse a QR-coded stamp, it will still send but it will then be held by the Post Office as under-paid and the recipient will need to pay up when collecting it.
 
I swapped a load of stamps recently and it was very straightforward. Superdrug were selling off stamps at around 25% current prices. I didn't even know they sold them. Some people have bought several grands worth. Sadly they just looked at me funny when I went to a local store and asked if they had any.

Edit. Non local to me but may be some left left elsewhere.
