HOW
TO COLLECT STAMPS |
Stamps
could be collected by: - Taking
stamps from the mail you receive
- Exchanging
stamps with friends, neighbours
- Buying
stamps from stamp dealers
- Standing order with philatelic bureau
|
WHAT
IS A STANDING ORDER? (deposit account) |
Stamps
are released on various dates according to the annual stamp program.
Often, it may not be possible to keep track of new releases. It may
also happen that some of the popular issues may be sold out soon after
receipt. This may lead to disappointment for many collectors since as
per convention philatelic stamps are never reprinted. To avoid these
difficulties and make stamp collecting hassle free, standing order
facility has been introduced. |
HOW
DOES IT WORK? |
When
you become a standing order account holder, every time there is a new
release, philatelic material as per your order will be reserved for
you and will be dispatched to you every month by registered
post. All you have to do is fill up the application form along
with the payment. You can subscribe this on behalf of someone else too
and surprise him/her. |
