-0700 (PDT) Hello: I have sent you an email in the past that I remember, but I wanted to let you know that in the past month I had the possibility to buy 4 stamps at the Central PO of Lima. Some weeks ago I received a big envelope from the BIOT with inforamtion of BIOT stamps. The envelope came with two BIOT stamps but very badly cancelled. I was surfing in your webpage another time. I read that you really needed some more images of stamps. So I send everything I have for you. With the list of available stamps for purchasing from the BPO a letter came too. You can read it below. "Anybody interested in buying
fresh and mint FDC and Stamps from the BIOT should
contact: Captain Tony Liva Royal Marines, Assistant
Postmaster General, Postmaster General, Post Office,
Diego Garcia, Chagos Archipielago, BRITISH INDIAN
OCEAN TERRITORY (via Singapore)."
Although it says via Singapore, I sent my order and
the letter of that answer via the UK. They
have a fax number too, 002463703943. FDC are cheap,
they cost the same as the single set. !! :-). when my
first order (will be 3) arrives from DG (i hope!!) I
will send the images of the FDC and stamp sets, and of
them you can choose what to add. The date of the
letter is not the correct one. I hope this has
helped you, regards from Lima, Peru. 03 Jul 2003, 09:49:59 AM hello Ted Morris I wanted to let you know that
finaly last week after I think 6 months my order of
BIOT stamps arrived. I send you the images as
you, Ted Morris, may be interested to put then in your
great webapge. They sent me a new list.
All FDC from 2000 to 2003 available, but some sets
like the butterflies, the sharks, uniforms, and the
turtles are incomplete! FDC cost the same as the
stamps! also you can read the letter there. francesco fantozzi
<frane_pe@yahoo.com> Second, the Ms that receives your orders, is untrained (still) i think, as she forgot to send me 4 SS and the money (US$15) has been already deducted from my account! You can buy BIOT stamps to http://www.sovereignstamps.co.uk/ I mailed cash, it arrived, the letters didnīt get
lost as I was thinking and nobody stole them either,
you can mail USPS normal MO and US checks thatīs
safer. |
BIOT Postal history publication. NEWS FROM
BIOT RECEIVED TODAY Tue, 25 May 2004 13:12:23 -0700 (PDT) From: francesco fantozzi <frane_pe@yahoo.com> To: STEPHEN PENDLETON <SPENDL@peoplepc.com> CC: easy501@zianet.com Dear Friends: have just open my mailbox and found a cover from BIOT. Excellent! they have answered my and have sent the stamps they forgot last time. there is a new employee, Dennis Pagaduan. will now investigate who this Dennis is and if he is filipino or british. will talk with my yahoo contacts from diego Garcia. as you can see in the cover stamps were canceled again with the not very official postmark. however it is different as the one used last time which was the Lion & Unicorn and Post Office Diego Garcia. the one used now has two turtles and Post Office. you can also see the postmark with date! 10 May 2004. unfortunately stamps were not canceled with this one. it only took 14 days BIOT to Peru. there is a difference between this las invoice and the other two. the new one has not the Fax number after the address. probably this fax number is not being used anymore. will have to ask. iīm happy to be able to received my stamps that were not included in my last order. altought it took very long to receive and answer i finaly got them. My letter to BIOT was mailed the : April 20th. mail is being received and mailed i think now faster!. Letīs hope that with Dennis Service will be faster and more professional. please contact me for other questions. No new stock list was included this time altought i requested a new one. hope to have informed you and to have helped Stephen with his BIOT Postal Services Research. (by the way, Ted Morris, yoiu might probably be interested with it). i donīt know Ted if you want the images of both Bird SS and the Fish SS. as you have already the Subs. i think it is to easy to scan you images of mint BIOT stamps that can be found anywhere. much more interesting is i think covers mailed from BIOT having BIOT used stamps, that is really hard. you may add to your WB the one i have received and also the Stamps. they keep using that address via Singapore which i do not trust. i prefer to use and all mail is sent by me to: Postmaster General Philatelic Sales, NP 1002, BFPO 485, Diego Garcia, BIOT, United Kingdom. attached with this email: the Cover from BIOT, the letter from BIOT and the stamps well friends, hope that i have helped you Francesco STEPHEN

Original Message ----- Dear
Friend, have received my copy and have readen the
British Service from 1990 to now. many things are
correct and i knew already. like that Post Office
is in the police station but not that they had de
Red Box. i was informed about that by a friend i
had in my yahoo messenger list. it is very easy to
have people in you list who lives there. But not
everything has been perfect with them as my first
and last order i received was mailed incomplete
and althought i mail the same day back to them
saying they had forgot 4 issues i have never
received and answer, i sent a fax in october and
did never hear from them so i mailed a new letter
last month. hopr to hear a positive answer.
i attach you all material about BIOT Post Service
i have available. i have receive stamps from BIOT
by friendly marines i found in Yahoo. one mailed
me stamps but these were mailed from HI and from
the other (to who i sent money in Feb) have not
receive nothing. i mailed him the envelope he
should use for mailing. he seemed very honest and
iīm sure he mailed them. i have wait sometimes
like 7 month to receive mail from there. you can
also read who were receiving order in BIOT, Ms
Talimoro who worked for DG21 and had her second
job with the british. she however left the island
already. and she is the one that forgot to include
my stamps. british have an email and i know it,
how ever, they do not like to use it for stamp
questions and is used for work only. but there is
also another email which i had and lost it given
to me by the US navy try to get it if you
can. the publication is interesting however
you forgot to include covers with the Ģ valued
stamps like the one that has Ted Morris in his
webpage. when i mail BIOT i never use Via
Singapore. i always mail it first to the UK and
BFPO 485 NP 1002. the 2 times i have receive mail
from there was not cancelled with the regular
postmark, like the one Ted Morris has. you can see
how. you can see my BIOT stamps in Ted Morris Web
page also. 3 are used and others are in Mint
condition and all of them cancelled with that not
very nice postmark. included my last letter i
mailed BIOT authority. first envelope had stamps
valued 45p and the last one 34p used for postage,
althought envelopes weight 61g and 69g please
contact me for more questions STEPHEN PENDLETON <SPENDL@peoplepc.com> wrote: Dear Sir, thank you very much for purchasing one of my guidebooks on BIOT.
