The BFPO Machine M001 UNION FLAG COLLECTOR SET - FIRST DAY COVER

27 JANUARY 2016

RIO FLAG STRIPS


This cover and the stamps were obtained from the NEW GENERATION C Series Machine situated at 
the British Forces Post Office in Ruislip, near London. This machine came into use on the 27th January 2016 but to anyones knowledge no stamps exist from this day. The earliest date known for mint stamps issued from this machine are 25 February 2016.

So essentially, you get a cover with mint stamps from the first date known the machine dispensed stamps , and with a franking confirming when the machine 'opened' for business.

A rare combination, and only a few exist.


These stamps were obtained on the 25th February 2016


 
Serial Number : C2GB16 M001-0013-019  to 024
 


If you wish to pay by cheque, please allow for clearance times. I prefer payment by Bank Transfer, but have no problem with
Paypal should you have more confidence in that method of payment.

I look forward to dealing with you.  Any more info required, please email me.

Thank you for your interest.

SATISFACTION IS GUARANTEED  !  I AM BUILDING A REPUTATION FOR EXCELLENT SERVICE, 
SPEEDY DELIVERY AND FAIR PRICES.   CHECK OUT MY FEEDBACK FOR CONFIRMATION.


IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING POSTAGE & PACKING CHARGES - 

EBAY changed their policy around 12 months ago, and unfortunately they now charge commission on 
Postage & Packing charges. For some time now, I have included these charges in the bid/purchase price 
on most items. In order to offer a 'free' postage service, I request that customers share the risk if selecting 
Standard post 

For this item, the default postage service is set for Royal Mail's 'Signed For Post'.

As you have selected one of the more secure services, such as the Signed-For or Special Delivery service , then 
should the item not be received after 14 days (28 days for International Mail) have elapsed, I will refund the 
purchase price or replace the item. 

I want you to be happy with my service, and ideally wish you to receive your item in perfect condition. 

For information, items sent by standard mail, Royal Mail Compensation is limited to a maximum of £20. 
Compensation for The Signed-For service is also limited to a maximum of £50 but of course a signature 
is obtained. Items which are rare, listed in the SG catalogue and valued above this figure, or which 
I would find difficult to replace if lost, should be sent using the Special Delivery service. 

Please think carefully before placing your order and select the most secure service fit for the item you are 
buying. Sometimes I insist on one of the more secure services being used, mainly for more expensive or 
hard to replace items. 

INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE offers no guarantees/insurance unless you buy the International Signed or 
Tracked Services. Stamps will be fully insured with any tracked service. 
I will always obtain a Proof of Posting for stamps sent by Standard Airmail. 
In this case, if stamps are lost, it is your responsibility to claim. 

Please note that these are Royal Mail charges for the secure services offered and not mine. 
They have become essential because of the number of potential false claims levied against the 
Royal Mail and to comply with EBAY and PAYPAL's 'Trackable Policies'. 
This protects both you, as the buyer, and me the seller. THANK YOU FOR READING.
