Ways to place your order

 

We make it easy for you to buy stamp products from Royal Mail by offering a wide selection of channels for you to choose from.


Buying on the web

 

You can order right now on our website by visiting the Royal Mail online shop, which contains a wide selection of our most popular stamp products. The Royal Mail online shop is open 24/7 and not only has detailed information on specific products but also lets you view images of them.


Buying over the phone

 

If you would prefer to buy your products over the phone, we have a dedicated stamp call centre that will be glad to help and provide assistance. The number is 08457 641 641.

If you frequently buy Royal Mail products and wish to set up a regular order, or subscription then our helpdesk will be happy to guide you through the process. Subscriptions or regular orders ensure you don’t miss out on the chance to buy some of our most collectable products.


Ongoing Subscriptions

 

If you want to make sure you receive each of the Special Stamps and their associated products as soon as they’re released, Ongoing Subscriptions make it easy.

Formally known as Easy pay, Ongoing Subscriptions put you in control. Simply tell us what you're interested in collecting - either for yourself or as a gift to someone else - and we’ll do the rest.

Payment is by Direct Debit so you don’t need to worry about making payments or remembering when the stamps are issued as they are sent out automatically on the day of issue.

The choice is yours – if you don’t want a particular item, just send it back within 30 days and you will receive a full refund.
No Paperwork – once your account is set up, there’s nothing more to do.
Regular Statements – You’ll be sent a bimonthly statement of your account, which will keep you up to date and in control.

To set up your Ongoing Subscriptions account call our dedicated stamp call centre on 08457 641 641
(or +44 131 316 7483 if calling from overseas) and our friendly advisors will take your order and provide all the information you need.
