Terms & Conditions

A minimum value of £20.00 applies to all orders.

Delivery time of your order

Every effort is made to dispatch goods within 10 working days. Many orders are in the post much quicker but due to Shows, buying trips, holiday etc, there can occasionally be a delay in processing orders of up to 14 days, so please allow 21 days for receipt. High Value / Expensive listed items may take 7 days for me to retrieve as they are all kept at my Bank and I only have access to the box once a week.

All new overseas customers paying by Credit/Debit card

Please note that for security your name and address details will be checked and will have to be verified by your Card company before your order is dispatched. Depending on your bank this may delay the sending of material for a couple of days. My apologies but there are a lot of stolen card details floating around in the world!

Images on the site

All images displayed in the general section of the site are produced as a guide only. They are not the actual stamps that you will receive. Where I have produced different Shades, the colour that is displayed must not be regarded as the definitive colour as the shade viewed maybe subject to the quality of your computer and screen, but they are a good guide.

Images displayed in the Featured Items, Weekly Offers, Rare & Selected items, Errors, Collections and Bargains are of the actual stamp(s) you will receive.

Posting and Insurance

• Postage for all non - bulky orders is now free, we reserve the right to charge for heavier / bulky orders such as Year Books or orders for large amounts of Presentation Packs / First Day Covers. We will notify you by email should this be the case.
• We will post your order by whichever method we choose, if the order is for a larger amount we will only post by a signed for delivery method. This could be Royal Mail or courier.

• As per Royal Mail's Lost Items Notice, Items will noat be considered as lost until 15 working days for UK deliveries and 25 days for Overseas deliveries.

If this is not possible then a refund will be issued for the cost of the item(s) including postage charges or to the maximum Insurance level (whichever is the smaller) of the Postage option you choose. Any refund will be made in the same form as the initial payment. For example, refunded to the same credit card used.
• All compensation is subject to my Insurance company agreeing to the claim. This will only be an issue if the Insurance company discovers that you have made similar claims of non receipt in the past and they believe that it is a fraudulent claim.
• Any attempt to default on these terms will be pursued vigorously through the English Courts if necessary.
