GB Discounted Postage Specialists

Welcome to our brand new website launched to celebrate 25 years as Philatelists.

We are specialist dealers in valid UK postage stamps which we supply to individuals and businesses all over the UK. We also buy, sell and auction collectable stamps and offer a very popular client Internet selling service. See our various categories below.

Postage prices have never been lower than they are right now. Many stamps are offered at just 55% face value. Check our shop for some real bargains. Alternatively, we believe now might be an ideal time to start a collection of British stamps.

Excellent customer service is what we are about with super fast dispatch of orders guaranteed.

“Do you know that all Royal Mail Special (commemorative) stamps and Christmas themed stamps issued from 1971 (start of decimal currency) to present day remain fully valid for postal use. These stamps are not just for collectors. There are literally thousands of beautiful stamps which can be used to brighten up your letters, cards and parcels.”

If you regularly use postage stamps and wish to make huge savings on your shipping costs then look no further.

We only purchase MINT (never used) stamps from trusted and reliable sources therefore everything we offer and sell from this website is fully valid for postal use in the UK. Our stamps have full original gum and come from stamp collections, professional stamp dealers and leading stamp auction houses mainly within  the UK but also from Europe and Worldwide. 

Royal Mail 1st and 2nd Class NVI Stamps

Browse our range of first and second class stamps, including the latest Royal Mail barcoded stamps, which were first introduced in late 2021.

These non-value indicated stamps can be used forever. Having no printed value they are completely inflation proof. Buying today will protect you from any future Royal Mail prices rises.

The current Royal Mail/PO price for a first class stamp is £1.70 and 87p for a second class stamp. We offer huge discounts to the price you will pay over the counter.

Please remember that all non-barcoded stamps which the Royal Mail issued as Commemorative or Christmas stamps from 1971 to present day remain 100% valid for postal use. That’s almost 50 years of stamps that can still be used.

Most of these stamps today reside in stamp collections or in dealers stocks which we buy and then sort into the discounted postage offered on this website.

It is only the old Machin and Regional stamps which are no longer valid for use. All old obsolete stamps can still be swapped for new barcoded stamps via the Royal Mail’s’ old stamp stamp ‘Swap-out’ scheme. So don’t throw them away. We also buy those old stamps and can swap them for you.

Royal Mail Stamps by Price

The cheapest way to send a first or second class letter is to combine the fixed value stamps above, perhaps just two or three stamp to make the postal rate you require.

For example the current second class rate being 87p could be made up of a 34p + 31p + 22p at an individual cost of just 60p per combination. Buy a 100 combinations and price drops to 48p each. This is by far the cheapest way to send a second class letter.

Europe & Worldwide Stamps

All European and Worldwide stamps are now worth the same regardless of what rate is actually printed on the stamp. 

The new Royal Mail/PO price from 1st Oct 2025 is £3.40. This is now the rate for letters and post cards up to 100 grams. We are selling these stamps for just £2.70.

Remember you can still combine our fixed value stamps to make the £3.40 rate, to save even more.

Collectable and Thematic Stamps

Here we offer stamps that are popular with collectors or have interesting topics. We are now offering some pre-decimal stamps and sets, although there is a bit of work to do.

We will eventually offer everything from the 1840 Penny Black to the very latest 2025 King Charles stamp sets. At current prices there has never been a better time to start a stamp collection.

Many of these stamps will appeal to non-stamp collectors, like birds, butterflies, nature, greetings stamps, pop music and TV and film related topics.

A new collecting area are the stamps of King Charles III so we plan to sell all of those stamps from around 80% face value, so you could still use them as postage if you wish.
