Think before you buy and only buy what you can afford too lose

I’d like to make others think before you buy.
By all means buy a few covers as a hobby, but at the smallest limit that you could afford to lose!!!
Many years ago I was advised, and lured into investing in stamp covers by this company!!
I then, like it is now, checked the reviews; seeing all the 5 stars, was convinced that it was good. Don’t be fooled!

I invested thousands of my own hard earned money, into an investment of stamp covers that never was. I lost a lot of money when I tried to sell them back. What I got was way below what I invested.
So don’t be taken in by lovely looking covers, and nice people. Your money is at risk of being lost.
I don’t want to happen too others what happened to me.
I got back in touch with them a few days ago with the intention of trying to recuperate some money from items I still have from that investment. I was very surprised with the response I received, and not in my favour!
I have just become aware of something they state when enticing people to buy Stamp Covers - Genuine Collectibles!! This is to lure you, do not go there, do not buy!!! They’re very expensive and not worth it!! I don’t think I can actually say what I’m thinking, but I’m sure you can think for yourself, pleasantly, Rubbish? This is what I’m talking about!

Great selection of first day covers…

Great selection of first day covers both signed and unsigned at reasonable prices. Excellent service from very knowledgeable staff who ensures that ones wishes are fullfilled at all times. For someone who wants to specialise in a certain theme there are many clubs one can join. One will then get sent a great selection of covers to choose from. If cover is not wanted, they offer a return service which is very much appreciated.

Nice item

Nice item, well produced but a bit in the dark about issue and delivery dates.

Thank-you for the review. Looking at your order, the autographed editions are tricky to put an issue date on as it's out of our hands when they arrive back with us. We will continue to try and update the product listing on our website with expected despatch dates. Thanks again, Buckingham Covers

Top quality service from a trusted and well established company.

I have been with Buckingham Covers for many years now and the service and stock they provide has always of a very high quality. Their customer service staff deserve particular mention as they are always efficient and friendly and are always willing to go out of their way to help.

All Buckingham staff have always been…

All Buckingham staff have always been consistently helpful with my orders,eg checking on availability of a particular cover I want when the magazine notes "our choice of cover". Quite honestly, I have found that nothing is too much trouble for them, even though I almost always ring in my orders rather than use the website.
