A Note on Secure Ordering at www.arhstamps.com

April 14, 2014 by Aron Halberstam Haberstam

Recently there has been a lot of disturbing news about internet security. Last week it was revealed that certain types of ‘secure’ web pages have been compromised by a major security bug called ‘Heartbleed’. As soon as we heard about this, we contacted our website administrator to ask if our website was at risk. We have been working with the same web development company for many years, and our administrator has always been consistently reliable and knowledgeable. Here is his reply:

The server techs are very good about always applying the latest security patches. They say, “Our servers are not vulnerable. They have never run the vulnerable versions of OpenSSL.”

Everyone who uses the internet for commerce, whether buying or selling, has a right to know that their sensitive information is secure. We are pleased to be able to reassure our customers that our online ordering process is trustworthy and safe to use.

For those of our customers who would still rather not use the internet to make purchases, please always feel free to place orders by phone at 718-788-3978.

Thank you as always for your interest.

Recent Acquisitions: Specimens, New Zealand Postal Fiscals, and more…

November 22, 2013 by Aron Halberstam Haberstam

Our most recent update to the Online Price List was completed yesterday. Included are a few things worth special mention.

Most notable are the four rare Specimen stamps we have already written about in our Blog post HERE.

We have also added a very attractive selection of New Zealand stamps, in particular the Arms Type Postal Fiscals. We have found that these stamps are often misdescribed, but we are meticulous in verifying the paper type and watermark for each stamp we offer. Here are some highlights:
