About Shipping: I’m
pretty sure you’ve figured out by now that there’s no such thing as free
shipping. Every seller who offers “free
shipping” has already baked the shipping fees into the listing price. Which
means you get to pay sales tax on everything including the “free
shipping.” I price my items very
competitively and charge a nominal shipping fee on the first item you purchase.
Every additional item really does ship free as my price doesn’t include any
kind of shipping or handling charges. In
most cases, the catalog value of the stamps I use to ship your item(s) will
exceed whatever you have paid for shipping, so in that respect, the shipping is
just about a wash.
A Little About Me and My Commitment to You
I’ve
been a regular member of the APS for over 35 years (member ID# 130461) and I’m
still a collector more than anything. If you check my feedback history,
you will find that not only is it pristine, but that I buy far more than I
sell. My commitment to you is that I will always provide a
thoughtful and truthful commentary on all the relevant aspects of every stamp
that I offer for sale/auction. And I will give you the bad as well as the
good, though I try not to sell stamps that have problems. I always try to
provide a certificate of authticity with stamps that are rare or often faked.
This isn’t always possible, but any stamp I sell that does not have a
certificate can be returned for full refund plus certification costs provided
a) you advise me that you are submitting for expertization; b) you send it to
the APS/APEX, PF, PSE, William Crowe or PSAG; c) you return the certificate and
receipt for expertization with the stamp/s. I don’t think you will find many
other sellers who stand behind their offerings as I do. So bid/buy with confidence that what you will
receive is exactly what I have described and if you feel it is not, that I will
make the return process as pleasant as possible. You can also expect an
interesting assortment of stamps adorning your shipment--no run-of-the-mill
forever stamps or postage meter strips! See photo #3 for a sample of what
you can expect.
