We always require GB postage, however some values are more popular than others so please contact us first if the value your invoice will be £2000 or over.

When sending stamps to us for sale please ensure that all Machin Definitive stamps and Christmas stamps are segregated from the Commemorative stamps as this will prevent delays in payment. The Royal Mail announcement has given stamp dealers an administration nightmare so if stamps come in already sorted that will speed up processing times greatly. We anticipate huge quantities of postage coming to the market this year so the more organised we can be the better.

 IF POSSIBLE PLEASE SEND YOUR STAMPS MADE UP IN PACKETS OF 100 CONTAINING THE SAME VALUE. THIS MAKES THEM EASY TO COUNT AND SELL . SMALLER AMOUNTS ARE ACCEPTED BUT PLEASE WRITE CLEARLY ON EACH PACKET HOW MANY STAMPS ARE INSIDE.
