Welcome to our new stamps, postal history and postcard showcase with stock from all over the world.

We have started with stamps and first day covers of Great Britain and some postal history, and picture postcards, especially from North America. We hope to add much more in 2008.

Browsing is easy - just pick a category in the panel on the left, and to see our stock. The number in ( ) indicates how many items are in that category or its sub-categories.

If you want to search for a specific topic or location, the Quick Find facility searches all the item titles. To also search item descriptions, click on Advanced Search and remember to tick the Search In Product Descriptions box.

IMPORTANT: Shipping / Postage and Packing
Item prices exclude postage and packing, and this is not added automatically. To avoid delays in processing your order please include one of the Shipping/Postage charges products from the products menu in the left column, and this will be added in to the shopping cart. The check-out process includes a reminder to do this. If you buy one stamp or 100 there is one basic charge; if you buy one cover or postcard or dozens there is a higher basic charge. The only extras on these prices are if you want to pay for special delivery or other premium postal services.

When you have completed Checkout the system will send you a confirmation email which will be copied to our office.

Payment Options
When you use the shopping cart the system will tell you the payment methods: we do accept PayPal payments, and we are now able to accept direct bank transfers from some countries! Please ask for details of our PayPal or IBAN account number through the Comments box. There will always be a way to pay that is convenient to both of us.

We welcome your comments and questions - click here or, from any page, use the Contact Us button at the foot of the panel on the left. And if you are looking for anything in particular, please ask if we have it and if we have, we will add at least something to the store as soon as possible for you to look at - and hopefully to buy!

Our stock is very varied. If what you want is not yet shown on the system, please ask and we will include it if we have it. Stock is being added almost at random and when anybody asks. Please note that for many categories, particularly postal history and picture postcards, we have only one copy. We try to remove the stock from the listing as soon as it is bought or reserved, but the world is a 24-hour market place and we do sleep sometimes. We hope we will not have to disappoint anybody: however, we apologise if anything you ask for is no longer available.

If you like our store - please tell us what you like about it. If you see anything in the content or operation of the store that is wrong or that you do not like, please tell us what is wrong, what niggles you, and if we agree and can change it, we will.

Browse, search and enjoy! Even if there is nothing here that you collect, treat the store as an exhibition - we are sure you will find something interesting.
