How quickly we dispatch

Once you have bought a stamp, you want it in your hands. Every order is dispatched within one working day of payment, carefully packed and ready for the post. Orders placed over a weekend or a public holiday are sent on the next working day.

UK delivery

Most UK orders are sent free of charge, with valuable and bulkier items handled a little differently so that everything arrives safely and fairly priced.

Larger or bulkier itemsBy an appropriate Royal Mail service, charged at cost and shown at checkout

For the great majority of orders, that means free postage and no decision to make. Where an item is especially valuable or too large for a standard envelope, the service is matched to it, and any postage cost is always shown clearly at checkout before you pay.

Tracking on valuable orders

Tracked for security

For high-value stamps we use a tracked service, so your order can be followed on its way and confirmed on arrival. It is a simple piece of reassurance for the items where it matters most, and it means something precious is never simply left to chance in the post.

Sending stamps overseas

We post to collectors around the world. International postage varies by destination and is shown at checkout, and there are a small number of regions we are currently unable to ship to for security reasons. You will find the full picture, including the regions we cover, on our international shipping page.

Safely packed, every time

However your order travels, it is packed to the same careful standard: sealed against moisture and protected inside a rigid, board-backed envelope. You can see exactly how a stamp is protected on our packaging page.
