Suggest send test to yourself so you are confident it true!. 
We print our own labels and stick them to the envelope you can of course buy your own stamps and print on each envelope.
You decide whats best for you.
Its reassuring to know that you can use this  prepay account.
 
If you prefer, just keep 'double paying' by adding royal mail stamps to your notices ,even though there is this prepay facility!
