Discount Stamps for Postage


It's legal, it's cheap, it's colourful !
Save on your postage costs, give your correspondents more variety of stamps. (If you are a collector, note that it seems that people tend to respond to mail with attractive stamps by paying more attention to the stamps they use on their reply.)
 
Please note that we choose the contents of your batch - if you want to specify exact contents, then please order according to our normal price lists. If you want to state preferences, that is alright, but remember they should just be preferences, not specifications.

Faroe Islands
Mint stamps - all valid for postage *.

We can normally supply mint stamps for postage at a discount off face. These will always be in decent condition with gum, and will very often be unmounted mint in sets, but batches may include mounted mint, or stamps with small faults, or part sets. 50% discount off face value normally available for batches 1,000kr and over.
The Stamps; Stamps supplied are all unused stamps with full gum as originally issued. (Occasionally some will have very small faults which bring them below the quality desired by fussy collectors, but nothing that would be unattractive, or dirty, or affect their validity.) We cannot normally supply specific denominations, but sell stamps in mixtures "as they come". You should expect that you may have to use two or more stamps on letters and packages, and that you might need to buy a small stock of low value stamps to make up odd values. When ordering you may state the maximum denomination you would like included (for example "nothing above kr5.50").
Minimum order; Our minimum sale is 1,000kr face value, costing you 500kr. Postage from us to the The Faroes is included.
You are allowed to make one trial purchase from us of a smaller batch. A trial 200kr lot can be sent for 130kr, again including postage. Any subsequent orders must be 1,000kr or more.
Methods of Payment; Payment can be made by {1} Bank transfer, {2}  MasterCard or Visa, {3} cash (we accept banknotes in pounds sterling, Euros, Danish kroner, or US dollars), or {4} cheque (pounds sterling drawn on a UK bank).
Exchange rates; Prices are quoted in Danish Kroner. Payments in kroner therefore are at par. Payments in other currencies would be calculated using the exchange rate quoted on the website www.xe.com at the time of the order. All payments through our credit card machine must be done in sterling, and would be calculated at the time of the transaction (and would appear on your credit card statement in your own currency).

Please note that we choose the contents of your batch - if you want to specify exact contents, then please order according to our normal price lists. If you want to state preferences, that is alright, but remember they should just be preferences, not specifications.
Other countries available from time to time.

* To avoid confusion, we should point out that one country's stamps are normally only valid in that country. Therefore UK stamps can only be used in the UK, Jersey stamps can only be used in Jersey, Portuguese in Portugal, Uruguayan in Uruguay, and so on.

Ordering - see our "How to Order" page. Or, of course, come in to our shop !
Condition - all stamps are legal with full gum - most will be totally perfect, others may have hinge marks on the gum from having been in a stamp album, or have the kind of small fault that would diminish the stamps in the eyes of a philatelist (such as creases, short perforations, small tears, etc.). All will be perfectly ok for postal use.

Note that many sources online offer unfranked stamps for postage, i.e. ones that have been through the post without being postmarked, or even that have had their postmarks removed. It is illegal to sell or use these. See our information page on the subject.
