Help Sourcing US Singles And Doubles?

Ok, it sounds odd that I need help with this as I live in the US. But our local PO is very small as I'm from a very small town and we don't get most new releases or a very small amount so I never am able to get any most times. I've gone to usps.com but I can't find most of the issues I want in a block of four or less. I just don't have the money to buy a sheet of each release I like.

So would anyone have a good resource to buy singles to blocks of new US releases with not too much of a markup?

The USPS Store offers all new issues in block of 4 format (or strips of 5 when there are five designs, as in Celebrity Chefs). The only EXCEPTION are those issues that cannot be purchased in less than a full pane (i.e. War of 1812, Lunar New Year, etc.). That would probably be your best source, as you'd only pay $1.30 to $1.85 shipping and can get as few or as many as you'd like at face value:

If you prefer not to use online ordering, you can always phone your order in toll free at 1-800-STAMP-24.

The other option is to subscribe to new releases. Just call SFS at the number wt1 stated above.

What about ebay? Plenty of singles offered on ebay, including recent issues.

I placed an order on usps.com earlier today and ordered a variety of forever stamps it was fairly easy to set up an account and place an order.

It cost $1.30 for shipping but to me that isn't bad at all.

Indeed, the $1.30 is less than you or I would need to mail the same stamps to a friend. If you spend $50 or more on a stamp order, I believe the shipping increases to $1.80 ... but still a bargain.

Hi! I get stamps that I missed (too late to order from USPS) from Zillions of Stamps website. Also I have called 1-800-STAMP-24 a couple of times and they were always helpful. I haven't tried ebay yet so it's worth checking out.

I don't mind buying blocks from USPS, not at all. Just the ones that are released in sheets I NEVER can get a hold of, either sold out or I just don't have the money for a whole sheet. Hopefully this is the year my little business turns a profit and I can use some to fuel my stamp addiction.

I use this seller on ebay. He's always done me right and combines shipping when you order more than one item. he sells off of sheets and you can get blocks of 4. I've posted a link to his ebay store.
