    I dont understand why people buy stamps on ebay at their face value when you can get them delivered via next day special delivery for free from royalmail.com! I order stamps this way through work and the customer service is excellent and you know they are the real thing cos they're coming straight from the Royal Mail.

    Depending on what stamps you buy, you might have to get £35 worth to qualify for free delivery.
    There are no delivery charges for products purchased in Business areas of the shop Postcode & Addressing Products, Pre-paid Packs & Envelopes, Stamp Books, Sheets & Rolls

    However, to purchase products in the following categories , Pre-paid Packs, envelopes, Stamp Books, Sheets & Rolls a minimum order value of £35 is required.

    It can be kind of confusing. For example, I ordered 2 x 200 second class stamps, and 2 x 50 first class Christmas stamps together before Christmas. The 2 x 200 stamps were delivered free as they were considered 'business' but I had to pay delivery on the 1st class Christmas stamps.

    But apart from that, like Saban says, they are usually pretty good and best of all, the stamps get to you the day after you ordered them.
