I am leaving Delcampe, having been a member for the best part of 20 years and have 79,000 items listed (including duplicates). This is entirely due to the change in how Delcampe charges customers, especially the additional charges on lower priced items, which make it unprofitable to sell to you, and VERY expensive for you to buy. Delcampe now charges £0.27 plus 10% on EVERY stamp you buy.
It seems that Delcampe have tried very hard to mis-understand the very nature of collecting, ie low value items to fill gaps, and that collectors do not want lots of stamps bunched together as a larger lot as they will have no way of disposing of the unwanted items in those lots. My own website will continue to price from £0.10 upwards as I remember who my customer base is, and what they want from their supplier.
I will close my store on 11th September.
I have enjoyed the last two decades, and have enjoyed working with the Delcampe Community, but there is little point flogging a dead horse. All the very best to all buyers and seller in the future, and may be I will see you on the other side (where, incidentally, you can save £0.27+10% on every item you buy!). I am unable to write the name of my website but the clue is in the name!!!! .
All low value items (usually up to £65) are sent by regular or airmail unless YOU ask for REGISTERED AND TRACKED MAIL.
A certificate of Posting is obtained for ALL items.
The following costs are for minimum weight packages, usually sufficient for several single items/sets. Larger items will have a shipping cost included within the item description. I only accept GBP/£'s.
1. UK Postage £1.50.
2. Europe £2.55 NO SERVICE TO RUSSIA.
3. Rest of the world £2.55. NO SERVICE TO RUSSIA.
4. Registered UK £7.25.
5. Registered Europe £7.95. NO SERVICE TO RUSSIA.
6. Registered Rest of World £7.95. NO SERVICE TO RUSSIA.
