Low, Flat Rate Shipping to US Addresses

When you order the World Set, you'll get a flat $14.99 shipping fee for your entire order. Better yet, each volume of the World Set will be shipped to you individually as they are released throughout the year -- at no additional charge. That's right, your one-time flat-rate shipping fee of $14.99 covers all 6 shipments.
Compare this to individual volumes of the Scott Catalog, which ship for a low flat rate of $9.95 per volume. When you opt for the world set, you're realizing serious savings.
We're proud to provide our collectors with total cost transparency and peace of mind. These essential reference volumes are substantial, often exceeding 1,600 pages, which makes them vulnerable to unpredictable and rising carrier fees. By choosing a flat-rate approach, we offer you several key advantages:
- Predictable Pricing: You will know your exact shipping total at checkout, regardless of how far you live from our distribution center.
- Locked-In Value: A flat fee protects you from fluctuating shipping rates, ensuring the most competitive "landed cost" for your collection.
- Specialized Handling: Your investment is protected by reinforced packaging and fully tracked delivery specifically designed for heavy-weight media.
About the Scott Catalogue
The Scott Catalogue is the definitive, industry-leading catalog for stamp collectors the world over. Within each catalog you'll find all the resources you need to find, identify, value and organize your stamp collection. Included within the pages of the catalog are stamp listings comprised of images, values and the industry-recognized standard Scott Number.
The catalogs, in publication since 1868, span over a century and a half of the celebrated hobby of philately (also known as stamp collecting).
Our teams take great care to identify, obtain, analyze, scan and catalog postage stamps issued all throughout the world. This printed catalog, available in English, is one of 6 volumes cataloging stamps from specific countries of the world. Each of the 6 volumes contains specific countries of the world, and are organized alphabetically from A-Z for your convenience.
With each annual release, we update the catalog in several ways. Compared to last year's edition, you can expect to find:
- Thousands of updated values
- Hundreds of new listings
- Updates to old listings
- More images
- Other editorial enhancements
- And more!
As the amount of information we pack into each catalogue grows, so too does its weight. That’s why Volumes 1-6 each year now come in 2 parts: A and B. For example, when you order Volume 1, you will receive BOTH Volume 1A and Volume 1B. Prior to 2018 (our 150th anniversary), each of our volumes was a single book.
