Dispatch & Delivery

We aim to dispatch orders on the day of ordering (if before 12:00 Mon to Fri or 9:00 Saturday) or the following working day however, we cannot guarantee this if other commitments intervene such as stamp fairs etc.

Items sent First Class mail in the UK should arrive the following working day. However, Royal Mail do occasionally fail to deliver to this timetable. They state that 10 working days after due date should be allowed before the item is deemed to be lost. For items posted to Europe this should be least 20 working days or 25 working days for items to the rest of the world from the due delivery date (5 and 10 days respectively). If you have not received your item in this time frame please inform us.
