Beatles stamps to be made available online in New Zealand
Several hundred sets of the Beatles stamps that were popular when released in Britain recently will soon be available online in New Zealand.
New Zealand Post’s stamps general manager Ivor Masters said the company had secured an initial supply of the stamps, which include the covers of Abbey Road, Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and Let it Be.
Mr Masters said the stamps were likely to be as popular here as they have been in Britain.
He said supply was limited, but more would be ordered from Royal Mail if need be.
Royal Mail said the stamps had been particularly popular in the United States, Canada and Japan and predicted they would be its biggest selling issue ever internationally.
The prices ranged from NZD3.40 for a miniature sheet to NZD13.40 for a presentation pack.
