How It Works
Choose your stamps. We ship them. That is the entire process.
There is nothing to design, nothing to upload and no proof to approve. Stampora is a stamp store. You browse genuine United States Postal Service Forever stamps, choose the designs you want, and they arrive sealed, intact and ready to use or collect.
Step one. Browse the collections
Every stamp in the store is a real USPS issue, grouped so you can find a design by subject rather than by catalogue number. Flags, flowers, animals, nature, holidays, celebrations, cartoons, art and culture, and the people and history series. If you know the issue you want, search for it by name. If you are buying for an occasion, start with the collection that matches it.
Step two. Choose the format and quantity
Most issues are sold as a book of 20. Some are available in additional formats such as coils or panes, shown on the product page where they apply. Pick the format, set the quantity, and add it to your basket. Prices start at $27.99 and the price you see on the product page is the price you pay for that format.
Step three. Checkout and delivery
Check out with card or PayPal. Your order is packed flat and protected so the gum and perforations arrive undamaged, then shipped to the address you provide. You will get a confirmation email at checkout and tracking when the order leaves us. Delivery estimates are shown at checkout and on the shipping page.
What arrives
What Forever actually means
A Forever stamp is always worth the current First Class one ounce rate on the day you use it, regardless of what it cost when it was issued or what you paid for it. A Forever stamp bought years ago still carries a letter today. It does not expire and it does not lose value if postage rates rise. That is what makes these worth holding, whether you are mailing with them or keeping them.
Stamps sold here are unused. Condition matters to collectors, so they are handled and packed accordingly, but they remain ordinary valid postage and you are free to use them as such.
Who we are, stated plainly
Stampora is an independent retailer. We buy genuine USPS stamps and resell them. We are not the United States Postal Service, and we are not affiliated with, authorised by, endorsed by or acting as an agent of the USPS or any government body. If you want to buy postage at face value, the Post Office and usps.com sell it to you directly, and we would rather tell you that than pretend otherwise.
What you are paying us for is sourcing, verification, careful handling, protective packaging and delivery to your door, including issues that have gone out of general circulation and are no longer easy to find at a counter. Our prices are above face value and we do not hide that. Every product page shows the full price before you commit.
Questions people ask before ordering
Are these real stamps or copies?
Real. Every item is a genuine United States Postal Service issue, valid for postage. We do not sell reproductions, novelty stamps or printed facsimiles, and we would not stay in business if we did.
Why do they cost more than face value?
Because you are buying from a store rather than from a post office counter. The price covers sourcing, verification, protective packaging, delivery and the availability of issues that are no longer sold at retail. If face value is what you need, buy directly from the USPS.
Can I actually mail letters with these?
Yes. They are valid Forever postage. Collectors tend to keep them, but nothing stops you using them.
Do the stamps expire?
No. Forever stamps remain valid for the current First Class one ounce rate indefinitely, including after postage rates increase.
Can I design or customise a stamp?
No. Stampora does not print, customise or personalise stamps and does not accept uploaded images. You choose from issues that already exist. Personalised postage is a regulated product and is not something we offer.
What if my order arrives damaged?
Tell us and we will put it right. Condition is the point of buying stamps this way, so a damaged arrival is our problem to fix, not yours to absorb. See the returns and refunds page for how that works.
How long does delivery take?
Estimates are shown at checkout and on the shipping information page. They are estimates, not guarantees.
