Stamps-on-Approval Frequently Asked Questions

What is my obligation?
It is very simple. When you receive a Stamp-on-Approval shipment we provide a 15-day free examination period so you can select the stamps that interest you the most. You are responsible for returning those stamps which you don’t want in the convenient return envelope along with your payment. There is no minimum purchase requirement.


When does my 15-day examination start?
Your 15-day free examination period begins on the day you receive it.


How much do you expect me to buy?
Half the fun of collecting postage stamps comes just from looking through selections from Kenmore’s vast stock of beautiful, fascinating stamps that we import from around the world.

That’s why we send you more stamps on approval than you will likely buy ... because your best fun is selecting only those stamps that appeal to you the most. You keep the best ones for yourself and return the rest.


How often do you send shipments?
Shipments are sent approximately every 4 to 6 weeks. However, you can specify if you want them more or less frequently.


Can I make special requests?
Of course you can! No two customers collect the same way so if we didn’t send what you really wanted, please let us know. On the back of every Stamps-on-Approval invoice there is a place for you to make your requests known.


Are Stamps-on-Approvals only for new collectors?
Collectors at all levels have utilized Stamps-on-Approvals to build their collections. In fact, the more advanced and specialized collectors probably benefit the most from receiving approvals.
