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.
