ABOUT US

My name is Dick Robinson.  My wife Patty and I live in Pataskala, Ohio (about 20 miles east of Columbus).  She retired from Nursing about 16 years ago and I retired from my business management career a little over 9 years ago.

My primary hobby is writing computer programs and messing around with websites.  I'm self-taught and not extremely creative.  That's why this site is functional but not very flashy and eye appealing!

Patty is very crafty.  She paints, makes baskets and stamps.  She is very meticulous in all of her crafts. 

WHY THIS SITE?

Retired life is great but you still have to have something to do so by becoming a Stamp dealer I "renewed" my career.  I get to do the website stuff, write computer programs and run my own little business.  And, I am able to give my wife a very good discount on the stamps she wants!

This is not your typical commercial website.  This is here for the PENNY BLACK fans out there.

So, my business is a hobby!  If I wanted to make money I'd become a Wal-Mart greeter.  The pricing is lower than most any site you'll find.  I keep them that way to help stretch your "stamping dollar".   I'm counting on YOU to spread the word about this site and help me keep costs down.

THE PLAN

Many Internet stamp dealers carry little or no stock.  They simply take your money and "relay" your order to the Factory.  I now stock over 3000 different Penny Black stamps so I am able to ship orders complete the same day they are paid for.  Most sites ask their customers to wait 2-3 weeks for delivery.  Bah!  You deserve better, especially when they are charging you full retail price!

Just a note: I do not list my phone number because all transactions can be handled electronically and I don't want the phone ringing all day & night.  Remember, this is a hobby, not a job.  If you need to talk to me just send an email and I'll give you my number.

I'm open to suggestions on how to make my site more user-friendly.

ORDERING

The easiest way to place an order is to simply email your list to us along with your name & address and how you want to pay.  Or, you can use the order form on the website.

PAYING

I accept Credit Cards, Money Orders, Personal Checks and PayPal (in that order).   I ask that you use PayPal ONLY when using your PayPal balance (not Credit Card thru PayPal).

SHIPPING

I ship either by First Class Mail or Priority Mail - whichever is cheaper.  On orders under $ 20.00 ** I may add a 75 cent "small order" fee - Over $ 20.00 ** no handling fees are charged - you pay only the actual postage.

** on shipments within the USA. 

For international shipments this amount is $ 25.00 due to the additional fees charged for currency exchange.  Also,  International customers are responsible for Customs/Duty/Taxes on their orders.  Let me know if you have questions
