GB STRIKE MAIL - CINDERELLA ISSUES -  SEE SCAN AND TITLE

 

IN JANUARY - FEBRUARY 1971,  BRITISH POSTAL WORKERS WERE ON STRIKE FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, PRIVATE COMPANIES WERE AUTHORISED BY THE POST OFFICE DURING THIS PERIOD TO COLLECT AND DELIVER MAIL, STAMPS OF VARYING QUALITY WERE ISSUED, SOME WERE PERFORATED BUT THE MAJORITY WERE IMPERF AND CUT VERY ROUGHLY AS ISSUED, PRINT AND DESIGN QUALITY ALSO LEFT A LOT TO BE DESIRED - SOME VERY PROFESSIONAL AND OTHERS - I LEAVE YOU TO DECIDE !!

DURING THIS PERIOD, GREAT BRITAIN WAS DUE TO CONVERT TO A DECIMAL CURRENCY ON 15 FEBRUARY, HENCE SOME ISSUES HAD DUAL STERLING AND DECIMAL VALUES.

SOME ARE UNMOUNTED , SOME MOUNTED AND SOME HAVE NO GUM, PRESUMABLY AS ISSUED . I REGRET THAT I AM UNABLE TO CONFIRM THAT ALL ARE GENUINE, BUT THEY WERE PURCHASED FROM A RELIABLE SOURCE. 

 

WE HAVE NOW OPENED OUR E-BAY SHOP, PLEASE TRY AND FIND THE TIME TO BROWSE,

HOPEFULLY YOU WILL FIND SOMETHING OF INTEREST.

 

POSTAGE ON ADDITIONAL ITEMS AT 25p. HOWEVER IF WE FEEL THIS IS EXCESSIVE WE WILL REFUND BY WAY OF STAMPS ANY EXCESS AS SOME OF OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE ALREADY DISCOVERED TO THEIR BENEFIT.

IF YOU WOULD PREFER TO PAY THE CORRECT AMOUNT PLEASE ASK FOR AN INVOICE BEFORE PAYING US, WE DO HOWEVER RECOMMEND THAT SPECIAL DELIVERY OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR IS USED FOR PEACE OF MIND. THIS IS CHARGED AT COST AND IS USED AUTOMATICALLY FOR SUCCESSFUL BIDS OR PURCHASES UNDER THE "BUY IT NOW" PROGRAMME FOR AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF £35.00 - PLEASE WAIT FOR OUR INVOICE.

FOR SECURITY REASONS AND BECAUSE OF A LACK OF STORAGE SPACE AT HOME, OUR STOCKS ARE NOW KEPT IN A SECURE AREA, THIS MAY RESULT IN A SHORT DELAY IN DEALING WITH ANY QUERY YOU MAY HAVE REGARDING THIS ITEM.

 

WE PREFER PAYMENT BY PAYPAL BUT ARE HAPPY TO ACCEPT STERLING CHEQUES DRAWN ON UK BANKS, WE DO RESERVE THE RIGHT TO WAIT FOR CLEARANCE OF THE CHEQUE BEFORE DISPATCHING GOODS.

MANY THANKS AND HAPPY BIDDING
