Why this store?

Over the last 4 decades, I have built significant knowledge and stock in Canadian Elizabethan issues, with specialization in certain areas that I believe are unrivalled by anyone else. I would like to share this material with other collectors who may have limited access to detailed stocks of Canadian stamps and related products, and who look for the “unusual”. I also actively maintain the Canadian Tagging Error Database, and have much material to offer in this area. Secondly, I also have a comprehensive and high quality stock of Scandinavian stamps, both classics and modern, which are not commonly found for sale in Canada.

Prices:

Images:

Where possible the actual item being offered for sale will have a hi-res scan (most at 300 dpi).
Most scans are done outside of mounts so that the clear plastic does not 'dull' the image; resulting in better clarity.
In some instances (where multiple quantities of the same variety are available), a 'stock image' scan will be presented (these will be noted). You will receive either the exact item being illustrated or one of similar quality.

Discounts:

Discounts are not combined.
The 'weekly', 'monthly', or 'seasonal' features must be purchased in the time period specified. SImply adding to the cart is not enough.
10% on orders over $100 (minimum 4 items).
Discounts: 15% on orders over $200 (minimum 6 items). [Some individual items may be limited to a 10% discount.]

Shipping:

No sales over $50.00 outside of North America and Great Britain. This is due to probability of ‘losses’ in the mailstream, and very high cost of tracked service.

ZPL is not responsible for losses of purchased items that occur in the mailstream, unless the items have been sent by registered (or equivalent) tracked service. All non-tracked items are sent at buyer’s sole risk (since I have NO control over various post offices and how (well) they conduct business).
