How it works
Send us your stamps
Save your stamps
Collect envelopes with stamps affixed. Both used stamps with postmarks and stamps without any postmarks are acceptable.
Trim and sort them
Trimming and sorting the stamps is optional, but it saves us a lot of work!
Trim the envelopes with a 6mm border around the stamp edges.
Stamps which are on extra special envelopes don’t need to be trimmed. Please send us whole envelopes.
Large batches of stamps can be sorted into envelopes or small ziplock bags. Australian stamps can be sorted by denomination (monetary value) and overseas stamps sorted by country.
Send them to us
Drop off or post your stamps to your local Baptist Mission Australia State Office.
Or you can contact your state stamp representative for other drop off locations (see Our Stamp Committee section below).
Buy unused stamps
You can buy stamps from us at face value, while raising funds for our missions work.
Where do these stamps come from?
Sometimes unused mint stamps are donated to us. We sell them for postage to individuals, churches and businesses. We can make up to 50-100% profit when we sell stamps this way.
You can purchase:
Small packs of postage stamps at face value
Plain-faced DL envelopes with $1.50 postage stamp affixed – $1.50 each
Window-faced DL envelopes with $1.50 postage stamp affixed – $1.50 each
Other envelope sizes are also available
All proceeds go straight back to support the ministry of Baptist Mission Australia. Small and large orders are welcome. Thank you!

Our stamp committee
There is a team of wonderful volunteers in our Stamp Committee serving in each state.
They collect bags of stamps from different businesses and individuals. They work hard at trimming the stamps and sorting them. They also help with selling the stamps.
The generous and hard work of all our volunteers means that our operating costs are virtually nil and the huge profit can go to the work of Baptist Mission Australia.
If you are interested in volunteering, email us at info@baptistmissionaustralia.org or your state representative listed below:
