Default Oxford Impressions Stamps - help?

I really love the these stamps but I've messaged the seller on Etsy and emailed twice on whether they would ship to me but have not gotten a response.

It is possible they don't ship to my country but I really want these stamps and was hoping they'd atleast reply and tell me or ask if I could get a shipping buddy (which I would definitely have tried)...

Just wanted to ask if anyone has bought stamps from them or know them. Its really disheartening when they don't even reply even if it is to say 'sorry we don't ship to you...'

I hate to say it, but I do know a lot of sellers have a negative impression of buyers in Asia - ie, we're mostly scammers or deadbeat bidders... but I am a genuine and honest buyer and it's sad when I can't buy a product I do want and have every intention to pay for...

Sorry if it sounds like a bit of a rant.. I hope I haven't offended anyone... just frustrated. Thanks, guys...:(

I'm not sure how the buying process works thru Etsy. Have you tried ordering thru their website Welcome! - Oxford Impressions Home

I just did a dummy order, and it didn't look like there were any restrictions one where they would post to but it did require you to have an Amazon account, which I know nothing about.

I have an Oxford Impressions rubber sheet and the stamps are very nice quality, and the photo stamps make a beautiful impression. I bought mine from a store.

Okay. I see some Asian countries in there, and some aren't. Not sure why this is so, but I think the scammers and dead beat bidders can be found in any country. I think your best bet would be to use your shipping buddy to help you out. Hope you get the stamps your after, coz they do have some great images.

Wow - those are beautiful. I doubt they think you're a scammer - on Etsy you have to pay first, so the seller doesn't take any risk, really. Maybe they are just busy. They have a regular store on their site too and this email address: [email protected]

You could have someone here in the states call them - they do have a phone # listed.

Those are beautiful - thanks for sharing them with us - they are new to me.

Good luck!!

Oxford impressions has some stunning images and I think, like others have posted, you may want to try purchasing directly from their store front. I love their stamps!

Hi Nancy,

I did try from their main site but like I said, my country wasn't listed. I also emailed that address in April and again today but got no reply.

I tried Etsy again today- just did a dummy order and my country was listed. So I reckon, I can order through Etsy but now I have to decide if I want to put down cold cash to a seller who doesn't reply emails or msgs!

hmmmm ... but darn it, those stamps are just so gorgeous! sigh...

Gosh, I just received a reply and I feel so awful now about thinking the worst! Apparently the seller had some pretty rough months on the personal front and neglected communications for a bit. But she's happy to ship via Etsy!!!

I am a very, very happy stamper today!!

Thanks to all for taking the time to respond!
