Has Anyone Had Experience Buying With Sydney Philatelics?

Here is their site http://stampsaustralia.com.au

Has anyone bought from them before? Are they alright?

Thanks!

I sent an order to a company in Sydney a couple years back, pretty sure it was them. It took weeks to arrive, I know it's Australia and I live in the Us Midwest but it just looked like they didn't mail it for ten days or so. The stamps were fine, reasonable prices.

I haven't trade with them. If you are looking for Australasia I can recommend Tom Osbourne who is in New South Wales. I've traded with him periodically for about 10-11 years and he is the consummate professional- easy going, flexible, kind, knowledgeable, and reasonable. His website is humorously old and locked in a late-1990's time capsule, but he issues gorgeous PDF price lists that are updated constantly. His stock is varied and extremely deep for Australia, AAT, PNG, Xmas, Cocos, Norfolk, Nauru, Pitcairn, etc.

Thanks for that shermae. Really appreciate it!

I have not bought from Graham but I did have contact with him a few months ago.

A group of Stampboards members got together to identify the plating of a known listed variety whose plating position had been a mystery for many years. It was nailed down to a block of stamps in a particular position but the plate number was still unknown. After a lot of searching I noticed Sydney Philatelics had a large block which might identify the elusive stamp - it did not appear to contain the elusive stamp but as I was able to identify a few stamps in this block by default I was able to identify the plate number of the elusive stamp.

I emailed Graham telling him I was not buying but could he help by providing a partial scan of the block. Not only did he provide the scan I requested but he provided other scans including an excellent scan of the full block to help. He declined my offer to identify him as one of the successful team.

A good bloke in my opinion.

It seems the Canadian dollar is on equal par with the Aussie dollar, so the difference in currency value will not be an issue.

I do not know Grahame Fudge of "stampsaustralia", nor have I dealt with him, but after reading his history, he has an impeccable history of being expert in his field, and his prices are reasonable.

I for one (and I'm very fussy with my taste, the stamp must be mint unhinged, no marks of any kind and has to be well centred to superbly centred unless there is an exception beyond the rule), will be getting in touch with him soon as his website is interesting.

I've been to Milton, the area of his postal address, it's a very beautiful and peaceful area in the South Coast region of New South Wales.

Give him a call or even email him and see how he can assist you in your enquiries.

(You should see the size of the cat his wife is patting that he shows on his website).
