Description: Classic locomotives from the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Australia are featured on this set of 20 mint stamps (10 pairs) issued by Tuvalu-Nanumea during 1984-5 (Nanumea is one of the Tuvalu islands; Tuvalu is an independent state in the British Commonwealth; formerly Ellice Islands). Each locomotive is represented by a pair of stamps- the top stamp provides side and front graphic views and the bottom stamp shows an artistic action scene. The name of the depicted locomotive is inscribed on each stamp. Very Fine complete set. Mint never hinged (MNH). No faults. The actual size of each pair is 60 x 40 mm. Scott Catalogue: Tuvalu-Nanumea # 1-10 2023 Scott Catalogue value: $4.35 The pictured set is a scan of one of the twenty fault-free, VF MNH sets of this issue that we had in stock at the time of listing. ADDITIONAL ITEMS SHIP FREE: You pay only one shipping charge, which will be the highest single shipping charge among the items purchased within one day (larger items which cannot be shipped via the USPS Letter rate, have a higher shipping charge. If such an item is among the items you purchased, this single higher rate would be charged to ship the multiple items). We would be happy to combine purchases made over several days into a single mailing, but you will need to let us know on the day of first purchases that this is your intention. Method option 1 (best): Do not click on "Buy it Now." Instead, click on "Add To Cart" for all items you wish to purchase. Then, click on "Request Total from Seller." Method option 2: Simply click on "Buy it Now" for each item. We will recognize the multiple purchases within one day from a buyer and will issue a refund for the excess shipping charges. SHIPPING INFORMATION: We ship one business day after receipt of payment (> 95% of the time; exceptions being vacations or rare unforeseen circumstances). The following charts explain your selectable shipping options (eBay does not permit editing of their shipping method descriptions, so a review of these charts should be helpful). If you would prefer a different shipping method (e.g., addition of tracking service for an international buyer, FedEx, etc.), please contact the seller- we will calculate the additional postage cost and develop an easy method for you to pay the additional expense.SALES TAX: eBay (not Western Stamp Company) collects sales taxes on items shipped to most U.S. states, and import charges to many countries (where sales are subject to GST/VAT, for example). eBay is responsible for remitting these taxes to your state's or country's tax authority; the seller (Western Stamp Company) does not receive these sales tax funds and has no control over this responsibility assumed by eBay.RETURN POLICY: We honor a 30-day return policy. You may return any items within 30 days of receipt for a full refund of the item purchase price. If we made a mistake in filling your order, or the item is clearly not as described, we will also refund our shipping charge. We only ask that the item(s) be returned in the condition received.INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Import duties, taxes, and other expenses imposed by your country are not included in the item price or shipping charge (though eBay may collect and remit taxes on your behalf- see "SALES TAX" heading above). These expenses are the buyer's responsibility. Note, however, that if you select the standard First Class Letter, Non-Machinable First Class Letter, or First Class Large Envelope Flat shipping method, the shipment should circumvent your country's Customs Office (we do not submit a Customs Declaration). If you select the First Class Parcel shipping method, we are required to submit a Customs Declaration (your selectable options depend upon whether this listed item can be safely shipped via a method that meets the USPS letter rate restrictions) and it is likely that your Customs office will review the shipment.
