Opening a Standing Order Account

Sums of money can be deposited with the Post Office and a standing order placed for your requirements. Should you wish to do this please send your requirements carefully (e.g. 'cancelled' or 'mint' stamps), and state whether airmail or surface dispatch is required.
An account will be opened for you and with each dispatch a "Statement of Account" will be sent. Unless otherwise requested, Philatelic material is dispatched under registered cover (cost of registration 80p).
