Business people love our discount postage because it allows them to save money on all of their USPS shipping. Because shippers are usually more interested in the discount they receive than the specific stamps, the Shippers Special may contain heavy duplication but will offer the deepest discount we can provide!

About the stamps:

• All the postage we´re offering is mint, with gum, and legally useable for mailing letters, boxes, parcels, or whatever you send through the USPS mail system! Virtually all of the stamps are collectable quality, but we´re selling them as postage! (Curious how this is possible? Click here!)

• Our discount postage is easy to use! All stamps are sorted by denomination and packaged in glassine per 100 or 200. Be careful! Other dealers may send you a mixed bag of jumbled postage that you will have to sort and count before using! (Booklet and sheet lots may be packaged differently, but will be sorted and counted by denomination for your convenience.)

• Lower denomination stamps (1-4¢) are sometimes available, but they tend not to be collector quality. Please inquire for current availability.

• Self-adhesive stamps are sometimes available, please inquire with your needs.

• We also sell non-US discounted postage. Please email with your needs for specifics.

• * Assorted Sheets:
  • Shipper´s Delight: Lot may contain heavy duplication; not necessarily collector quality sheets, but all stamps will be good as postage.

  • "Unexploded" means that the individual booklet pane(s) is/are still attached to the original cover, just as from the post office.
  • Shipper´s Delight: Lot may contain heavy duplication; may include self-adhesive panes.

Discounted postage, simply put, is US postage sold under face value. This postage is perfectly legal to sell, buy and use on all your USPS mail. The secret is that the volume of stamps sold to collectors over the last 50 years is enormous: often much larger than the demand from today´s collectors. When these stamps were purchased, the post office received full face value for them. Today, when large accumulations come on the market, our position as a one of the largest US mint stamp dealerships allow us to buy them in bulk at current market prices, often below face value. (Do you have stamps to sell? Don´t worry, many mint stamps have increased in value! Review our detailed US buying list at http://www.hgitner.com/buy.html.) The stamps which have not appreciated in value to collectors, we can now offer to you for your postage needs at less than face value.

Our discount rates can vary from 16% to 3%, depending on the type of postage. For example, bulk rate, non-profits and precancelled stamps, which require a special (and easily obtained) permit are sold at the greatest discount. On the other side of things, current rate first class self-adhesives in large quantity can be as low as 3% off of face, but only when available. If you are a casual mailer or someone who needs postage for large mailings, we can supply you with stamps at a rate that will really save you money!
