INFORMATION SOURCES:
First of all, Royal Mail will be despatching these stamps. Additional purchases will not increase the final postal charges. Furthermore we do not charge you for envelopes and packaging materials
Recorded Delivery or Registered Post is available if required. Consequently, loss or damage compensation is claimable if this option is taken.
These Airmail singles were issued between 2003 and 2010. Because customers may not have wanted a full booklet, the PB had to issue singles. As the stamps were self-adhesive the PB decided to die-stamp or guillotine these issues to make marketing easier.
Catalogue numbers for these stamps are difficult to allocate. Consequently we have numbered them between A1 and F14. The A to F designation refers to the six Presentation Packs that the stamps appear in. Also the numbers 1 to 14 denote individual stamps within the packs.
In conclusion, all of our stamps are also in an excellent condition and are unmounted mint. We will mention any variation to this stament.
Please let us know if we have made mistake with this description.
