Please note that Canada Post is now sending back any international lettermail (including US) that has hard cardboard stiffeners and stating it must be sent by packet post. This is why some items may have a noticeably higher shipping cost than what would be expected. Items that are still sent through lettermail may have less stiffener material than previously used. This also means that should a lettermail rate item end up being rejected, I will either have to cancel the transaction and refund the purchase or you may choose to pay the difference for shipping costs (either Tracked Packet or Expedited Parcel) if you still want the item. This also means that a customs form is required for anything sent via packet/parcel and you may end up paying additional fees on your end when receiving the item. Please also assume that regardless of what shipping method is shown/charged (i.e. lettermail), particularly for higher priced items, I may ship by packet/parcel mail anyway (in those instances where I am opting to cover the additional shipping charges) and this may also result in customs/sales/VAT/other taxes on your end. Unfortunately, this issue with lettermail is outside of the control of sellers (or eBay) as it is per UPU guidelines. It does not apply to shipments inside of Canada.
I do consistently try to maintain the lowest possible prices for items but please feel free to make an offer on anything listed. Offers on multiple items are always appreciated and preferred and when able, I will do my best to make a deal happen! I offer combined shipping discounts when able and refund any difference in shipping costs paid. Thank you for your understanding. Happy Collecting!
The catalog mentions forgeries exist so I have taken a close up of part of the ink for you to make a determination. Sold as a possible forgery but may also be genuine as I do not have the reference material (or expertise) needed to determine. As always, I welcome feedback and opinions but please provide an explanation and reference.
I am parting out a large Russian stamp estate from an ex-Rossica society member and mainly going by his labels and write-ups as this is not an area of expertise for me. Please review the photos to make your own determination of the issue/variety/description. If you have questions or you would like additional photos, please let me know prior to bidding.
Please see photos for what is included and overall condition. Items with higher sales values may be shipped Registered or parcel mail and may require signature upon receipt. For items listed as being shipped with letterpost that have an unusually high shipping cost, this will definitely be the case.
Overseas parcels (non-lettermail) will only be sent by Tracked Packet (only for items under $100 and where this option is available) or Xpresspost International. Please note that this can be expensive for parcels!!
For local pick-up in Winnipeg, MB, please contact me for accepted payment methods.
Please request a shipping quote before bidding.
Feedback will be left once the item(s) arrive and the transaction is satisfactory and complete. Please contact me if you have any concerns!
