SHIPPING OF ITEMS
It is an irony of our times that the general decline in postal services across the world was the same postal services upon which our stamp collecting hobby and philatelic interests were based upon.
With the current challenges faced in forwarding philatelic items across the world we provide the below methods in shipping items purchased from our site. For the sake of simplicity we have subsidised most of these and, for hopefully the majority of orders, shipping will be free. Unfortunately we are no longer able to provide global mail as an option to our overseas clients (used to be € 5 via global mail to our overseas clients for orders less than € 100) as the service is no longer offered by our service providers.
| Total order value | South Africa | International |
|---|---|---|
| less than €100 | € 5 via Postnet counter to counter1 | € 35 via courier3 |
| € 100 - € 299 | € 5 via Postnet1/€ 10 via courier2 | € 35 via courier3 |
| € 300 - € 499 | free via courier2 | € 35 via courier3 |
| € 500+ | free via courier2 | free via courier3 |
- Postnet counter to counter normally result in delivery within 24 – 48 hours and is a safe measure of shipping.
- Via courier within South Africa presents safe shipping and delivery normally within 24 hours.
- Delivery for international destinations is between 1 and 4 working days, dependent on relevant destination and represents a safe measure of shipping.
Naturally any collections from our offices in Port Elizabeth, any pre-arranged for personal delivery and any own courier arrangments will be free of charge. All orders are carefully packed and dispatched on the same day whenever possible.
