Postage / Payment

Are you frustrated by online shops which don't tell you how much you have to pay for postage or shipping until you are in the checkout?  So were we, so here is our current list of postage rates

Following changes to the UPU arrangements for 'Terminal Dues' - the amount one country pays to another for delivering international mail - Royal Mail have announced new postage Zones with Zone 3 now allocated to the USA.  This took effect during the summer of 2020 and on 1 September 2020 further changes were made to reflect the addiitonal costs incurred for international mail during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Further increases were made effective 1 January 2021 and we have therefore had to increase some shipping costs.   This is the first significant change since the shop opened and unlike many dealers we do not buy-in collections of mint stamps, or buy discount-postage from the trade.

There have been further changes in all postage rates from early April 2022. We will do our best to avoid changing our prices. although with new zones for Europe, some change is inevitable.

CUSTOMS and import duties
If you require delivery outside the United Kingdom it may be necessary for us to provide a Customs declaration on the outside of the package.  The value declared will exclude postage charges. Any Customs Duties payable on import to your country are your responsibility.

Rules for imports to the European Union will change on 1 July 2021.  Please read local guidance on this.  We will NOT be collecting your local VAT to remit to your tax authorities.  Orders will be posted 'duty unpaid'.

* UK collectors - we can send very many stamps for the basic inland rates.  If you consistently buy only stamps, that we can send for the basic letter rate,  and if you pay by cheque or bank transfer we'll give you a postage credit from time to time. Just remind us!

§ Because of losses only tracked services are available to some countries.

PAYMENT
This system allows you to pay by bank transfer from UK or international bank accounts (we'll send you details). 

You can also send us a cheque (payable to Ian Billings) in sterling (GB Pounds).  We like these systems as we get all the money!  If you do send a cheque, please include a note of the order number (not written on the cheque because we won't have it after it's banked).  And if you can, please use a special stamp rather than a definitive - if nobody uses them there won't be any for people to collect!

You can also pay by debit or credit card; such payments are processed for us through PayPal so we never know your card details.  Of course if you have a PayPal account, then you can pay by transfer from your account to ours.  Just click on the PayPal button as usual.
