This is what Chat GBT say about us in a pdf summary




At Philatelink, we focus on providing great value, excellent customer service, and same-day dispatch on orders placed before 2pm. We sell genuine, unused Royal Mail decimal stamps.
All our stamps are 100% valid for postage use within the UK. We monitor weekly Internet auction sale results for British postage stamps then set our selling prices on these real time market prices. This ensures our customers get the best deal possible when buying postage stamps.
We also base our buying prices by monitoring Internet auctions weekly so the prices we publish on this website reflect what you should expect receive if selling the stamps yourself, minus the usual internet selling fees and other costs like postage and packing, saving time and hassle.
We stock just about every decimal stamp the Royal Mail has ever issued, from 1p to £5. While many are sold for postage, some recent issues have become collectible and are available via our website and eBay shop.
We are proud to a GOLD Member of the Philatelic Traders Society (PTS) and Scottish Philatelic Traders Association (SPTA), operating with integrity and professionalism at all times. As a family-run business, we’re proud to be an eBay Top-Rated Seller since 2011, with a long-standing reputation for trust and reliability.
Much of our stock comes from large stamp collections sold below face value due to declining demand among collectors. We also offer a commission-based selling service, helping clients achieve excellent results through our global online reach.

All of the postage stamps we sell are GUARANTEED GENUINE mint stamps that have never previously been through the postal network. We DO NOT buy or sell any of the “un-franked ” and sometimes “fake” stamps that are offered elsewhere on the Internet. Our reputation has been built on Trust and Integrity over the last 20 years.
Unless otherwise stated, the pictures shown are purely for illustration purposes. You will normally receive a mixture of different designs, or very occasionally they could all be of the same design, it really just depends on what we have available from stock at the time of your order. Often the bags of mixed stamps are purchased already made up for us, so unless there are obvious errors, we go with what we have been given.
We guarantee that whatever you are sent, ALL of the stamps will be 100% valid for postal use in the UK.
From 31st January 2023 all Definitive and Regional (the Queen’s Head ‘Machin’ stamps including the Scottish, English, Welsh and Northern Ireland regional stamps) will no longer be valid for postal use therefore we will gradually phase those stamps out as we run up to Christmas 2022. There is no need for panic as all of these stamps can (if you wish) be used as normal until the 2023 deadline or be SWAPPED for the brand new barcoded stamps by returning them to the Royal Mail by post. Over time we will be swapping 100,000’s of stamps for the new barcoded stamps. This really is a WIN WIN situation for everyone. Gradually we will build up good stocks of the new barcoded stamps as the old stamps are swapped, sold off or used up.
Importantly, all Commemorative and Christmas Stamps (those stamps with pretty pictures) will remain 100% valid for postal use after 31st January 2023, therefore they cannot be swapped out for the new barcoded stamps. These stamps we will keep selling as we have done for the last 20 years. This great news for our many customers who prefer the picture stamps rather than what some say are the dull and boring definitive stamps.
After Christmas 2022 we will only supply Commemorative (Picture) and Christmas Stamps (issued from 1971 to date) and of course the brand new Royal Mail barcoded stamps. As we move into 2023 there will be far less discounted postage available in the UK, so we advise customers to stock up on all stamps that will be valid for postal use after 31st January 2023.
