[Problem] More stamps than I should have!

I have 32 stamps in my bank! I have 108 sets, 34 referrals, 9 diamond deliveries sent, which mean that I have -7 stamps in the wild! How can I have more stamps than I should?

You know ... I had 0 stamps, didn't accept any deliveries, and suddenly I have 8 stamps.
A glitch in the system?

I calculated it by hand (not only using the calculators for points and stamps) and I have 7 more stamps than I should! Is something change or is it a bug?

I have seen numerous instances where people were awarded Points twice for deliveries. I think this happened during the months of Server problems. This resulted in a negative number of Stamps in the wild when using one of the calculators.

Yep. I have 4 stamps outstanding, but I know for a fact that I have a gold delivery sitting on someone's account.

My points are ok as they should! I have unaccepted deliveries which means that I have more than 7 extra stamps! If its bug its a nice bug...

Ok, I have 382 stamps, which I know is too much. I know I can figure out how many stamnps with the deliveries, but what does it have to do with referrals and diamond deliveries??

Please help me to understand. Thanks in advance.

Its referral gives you 15 stamps. Its diamond delivery you send costs 10 stamps and gives you 250 points!

With referrals you get 50 Points and 15 Stamps. With Diamond Deliveries you get 150 Bonus Points. All these have to be taken into account when determining where you are.

Well, according to the IB Dashboard, which has been sufficiently tested and verified, I have 8 stamps outstanding. I only know of 1 silver delivery that appears to be unclaimed (less than 7 days). Could somebody mash that "wayward stamp" button?

@smfh25: These are the calculators.

Thank you all for the explanation and

@soprano: Thanks for the links.

I used some of the "extra" stamps! Hope that they will not turn into -20 stamps in my bank when the Chefs find out what caused the "more stamps than I should have" issue...
