UK SHIPPING:

I will always combine postage and only use 2nd class to keep shipping costs to an absolute minimum for you, I empathise with recent rising shipping costs so I’ll always try my very best to consolidate lots I’ll also use commemorative stamps with the odd definitive to mail your items. Items are usually packed & shipped within 48 hours however I do state up to 4 working days on my listings .

Lots over £20 are now posted recorded 2nd class for peace of mind for the buyer and myself .

ALL ITEMS ARE SENT OBTAINING A PROOF OF POSTAGE RECEIPT REGARDLESS OF SALE AMOUNT.

Overcharging on postage & packaging is unfair and dishonest I can assure you that wont happen here. New packaging, Parcel wrap, Card backed envelopes, Bubble wrap.. etc..is used and a flat fee of 50p(Parcels & Large letters) or 30p (small letter) is added to cover with packaging and other costs , You will only pay the packaging fee ONCE on unlimited combined items in the same basket, PLEASE MESSAGE ME FOR AN INVOICE ON MULTIPLE PURCHASED ITEMS WHEN YOU HAVE COMPLETED YOUR PURCHASES! THANK YOU

Customer service / satisfaction is paramount here and great pride is taken regarding my 100% positive feedback, I work hard to keep it that way so please bid/buy with full confidence . Any problems please inform me first . Thank you

Positive feedback is always reciprocated thank you in advance for any kind feedback left . If you have any issues, please get in contact before leaving any low ratings and I will do my very best to settle the matter favourably. Thank you :0)

I mainly sell Stamps , Postal history, Antiques, Ephemera, Collectables and Retro Vintage items plus a few oddities from my HUGE personal hoard over the years. It’s time for others to enjoy many items I’ve collected and admired over the years.

Please note Philately is an enormous study and honest mistakes can be made. If you notice any listing that is incorrect or you have an opinion I will be more than happy to look into it and even have a friendly chat about it.

All single items are described with honesty and as accurately as possible.

Stamps sold with certificates are sold on the opinion of such and not to any other opinion.

All accumulation listings on album pages, hagners and stock cards are unchecked for faults and forgeries and are sold as-is unless stated.

RETURNS AND REFUNDS

Lots sold such as kiloware , Albums/Pages, Stock books , Bulk lots / Job lots etc are non exchangeable nor refundable these items are usually sold for a quick sale therefore can not be returned , Please respect this! , Cherry pickers and scammers stay well away ! This may sound harsh but unfortunately fraud and dishonesty has recently become all too common.

ITEMS ELIGIBLE TO BE RETURNED WILL BE STATED ON THE LISTING THESE MUST BE POSTED RECORDED WITH THE TRACKING NUMBER ENTERED ON EBAY AND MUST RETAIN A PROOF OF POSTAGE RECEIPT FROM THE POSTAL COMPANY! THANK YOU.

Please do not leave negative feedback on kiloware or job lots just because you didn’t get what you specifically wanted ! My photos are clear/in focus and should give you a fair and good example of what you will receive along with honest lot remarks. Thank you.

In the unlikely event an incorrect item is sent then please return it in exactly the same state as received and a full refund of ALL postage costs will be actioned, I will then send the correct item to you or if preferred a full refund will be given.

All items are in good condition unless otherwise stated !

CONDITION OF STAMPS

Please study photos/Scans carefully as they form a huge part of the description and condition.

Photos, Scans are always clear and in focus Shot with a 4K HD camera however please note because of limited space set by eBay videos may look rushed as I’ll always try and show the entire contents under a certain time frame.

I will always give an honest description with any faults mentioned.

There are many interpretations on stamp condition from country to country person to person.

To clarify my listings condition please read below :

UM = Unmounted Mint ( stamp is post office fresh with no gum disturbance )

MNH = Mint Not Hinged ( stamp is fresh with no gum disturbance )

UU = UnUsed = no cancellation, no gum or part gum

LMM = Lightly Mounted Mint ( stamp has been mounted in the past with little disturbance to gum, no hinge remains )

MM/MH = Mounted Mint - Mint Hinged( stamp has been mounted with no/part or all hinge remaining)

MHH = Mint Heavy Hinged ( stamp has been hinged more than twice in the past with gum disturbance)and may have multiple hinge remains

OG = Own Gum

GU = Good Used = physically sound without tear, thin or other faults

VF = Very Fine = A superb example mint or used

FU = Fine Used = A good example mint or used

CDS = Circular Date Stamp ( Cancellation/Franking)

SPACE FILLER = Major/Very obvious faulty stamp to fill a gap in album until a better example comes along.

HV = High Value ( Face or catalogued)

MIXED CONDITION = All or some of above

CLOSE CUT = meaning less paper around the stamp so that it produces a greater number of stamps by weight. I always try and salvage any neat & complete CDS/Cancellations.

SUPERB/ SUPERB USED = A post office fresh unhinged mint stamp or used with a clean crisp cancellation with no faults

Any letters and/or numbers in brackets for example shown like this (A123) is for my reference.

This applies even if you are bidding on lots over a number of days. Simply drop me a quick message to confirm that you are interested in bidding on multiple lots and another when you are finished. We will then send you a combined invoice by return.

Please be aware as a last resort non payers are reported to Ebay and will have a strike against their account. If there is a delay in payment for any reason I have absolutely no problem with that just please let me know by dropping me a message . Thank you
