About Us

www.stamps.co.uk is a family owned internet retail business run by Becky and Simon. Becky is in charge of day to day running and is the crafty one, while Simon is the Web and technical man. It was started in February 2004 with the website going live in September 2004. We were very small back then with only a small range of about 200 products and the stock/packing room was attached to the house. Now however with over 5000 products we have 800 square foot premises in the centre of our village – very conveniently for Becky above the Tea Rooms! We have four great staff whom work extremely hard: packing, checking stock and attending to all the other jobs that need doing.

Our aims…

To pack & despatch your order on the same or next working day when all items are in stock.

To answer email/phone enquiries within 2 working days.

To be up front about stock levels so you can see in your basket what’s in stock and what’s not.

If we make a mistake (& we are only human) to put it right as soon as possible.

What we do…

Parcels are sent 2nd Class or Parcel Post. This keeps postage costs low (£2.95 for £29.99 or less & FREE for £30+) and because we pack so quickly we easily compete with companies who send 1st!

At our discretion large orders or those that weigh over 2kg are sent Royal Mail Parcels or Courier for Next Day Delivery.

Gifts – if you let us know an order is a gift we will if possible wrap & label it for no extra charge. This is a FREE service just tell us in the comments box at checkout and choose the alternative delivery address. We will even delay despatch if required.

YouWantIt!WeGetIT! sections are for those who let to be distinctive in their creativity. As some of the more unusual or niche products are not kept in stock, but where this is the case they will be ordered especially for you, while the remainder of your order is despatched in the normal manner. These items have a * at the front of the product code and it will tell you this in the product description.

Out of stock items – when a item routinely kept in stock runs out, you will be made aware as you check out – we may keep your order until these items come back into stock. Again this helps keep the postage costs low.

Newsletter – this is sent out once a month to all those who choose to subscribe when they create an account. Occasionally, when we have fantastic promotions or items lots of people have been waiting for, we send out a brief interim letter.

Re-cycling - we do this as much as possible by re-using boxes, envelopes and packaging materials wherever possible.

We re-invest in our stock to give you a continually growing choice – we do not spend money on big ads! So, please if you like what we do tell others and if not tell us!
