First Day Cover Envelopes
Do you sometimes find that you wished you could change the arrangement of stamps on your First Day Covers - or personalise it according to each stamp issue and your interest?
Well, now you can.
We are the only company, other than Royal Mail, that can sell you a blank First Day Envelope so you can do precisely that. Also, it is an opportunity to reduce the cost of your hobby as you might not wish to purchase all the stamps. Whether you wish to purchase for every new issue, or just those that appeal, we are happy to help you. We supply other trade outlets, Post Offices and individual collectors - many of whom come to rely on information we go to great lengths to pass on when Royal Mail is a little slow!
We aim to get the FDEs out to collectors at least one month prior to the stamp issue. This gives you plenty of time to do what you need to do. We find increasingly these days that it gets more difficult to take holidays! Well, relax - if you happen to be away, for our "trade" customers, we are happy to supply these at cost price to help out.
With each sending, you receive a Newsletter entitled Trade News giving you details of forthcoming items issues whether they are stamps, minisheets, booklets etc.
How it works:
- decide whether you want a Cotswold First Day Envelope, a Stuart Envelope, or even a Royal Mail
- decide how many you wish to take
- decide whether you wish to take for each stamp issue or just let us know when
- cost per one is £1.55 excluding postage and packing.
- let us have your postal address and they will be sent with invoice so you can pay on receipt
Cost: £1.55 per envelope, P&P extra.
