Buyer's Premium. A buyer's premium of 20.00% (inclusive of VAT) will be added to
the hammer price of all lots purchased in this sale.
Estimated Values. Bids should be made in GBP (British Pounds Sterling) only and in
whole pounds. Pence will not be taken into consideration and bids below 70% of
the estimate may not be entered at all. Estimates are based on realisations
from previous sales or at the describer’s discretionary and professional
opinion.
Catalogue Numbers and
Values are from Stanley Gibbons (SG) catalogues unless shown otherwise.
Values are applicable as of the date of describing so variations are possible.
Numbers and values taken from other catalogues normally refer accordingly (e.g.
Michel/Mi, Yvert/Yv, Scott, etc.) and usually show the £Stg/GBP equivalent of
that catalogue value.
Quantities for lots are shown where possible. For logistical reasons bulky
lots will be shown with an approximate figure only, often denoted with
‘approx.’ or similar. All reasonable care is taken in preparing figures; whilst
accuracy is intended and offered in earnest, statistics and values must be
understood as those of opinion and not as resolute fact.
Certificates. Lots where the item (or main item(s) within lot) has
certification mentioned in the description, are offered based on the opinion
expressed therein, which, may or may not reflect the views of Mayfair
Philatelics Ltd. If extension for certification is required, this must be
registered with us when the bid is placed, or by the close of sale at the
latest. Requests beyond this point will not be fulfilled.
Value Added Tax (VAT). All stamps are sold under margin scheme rules, mostly for
‘Global Accounting’. No extra need be added within the EU and no export discount
applies outside the EU. For
import/export and VAT purposes stamps are treated as pre-owned, therefore, no
VAT is added to the overall price nor is it subject to reclaim or discounts.
Delivery of Lots. Our standard method of postage for small or single items is
typically via Royal Mail Special Delivery (+£2.00 to cover packing and tax).
Larger/Heavier and international shipping varies depending on weight, value and
client location. Should your delivery fee total more than £50 you will be
notified before despatch. Delivery charges will be waived for invoices
totalling £2,000 (UK) and £5,000 (elsewhere) and up. We aim to despatch* within
7 days of the auction close but offer an expedited service for a guaranteed
priority despatch (usually first Monday following the auction) for an
additional £5. *Please note that actual delivery times may vary.
Notification of
Result. Realisations for lots you have bid on will be posted to you in the
week following the auction along with your invoice or failure notice and a list
of unsold items available for purchase. A list of general realisations along
with unsold items will also be available to view/purchase on our website,
within 72 hours of the auction close. We regret that we are not able to offer
customer specific results online.
Payments should be made within seven days of the auction* or may be subject
to interest and fees. Payments can be made via bank transfer, by all major
credit/debit cards including AMEX, cash (in person and up to £10,000) or by
