Well not so easy Prashant ji.
When you click at the “Make Payment” button, it takes you nowhere, because it is a ‘dead link’ !!!
India Post is just making a fool of people.

Well I slightly disagree with you.
There may be some problem with payment gateway. I have personally bought stamps thrice from epost and I got delivery within 5 days from Delhi to Ahmedabad.
They are giving good opportunity to buy a bit old stamps and are not fooling us. Might you faced some problems.
Its a good site. Please try some other time.
Thanks for reading and responding.

I’ve been trying to purchase stamps from this site for long.
But as mentioned in the comment above, after ‘Confirm Payment’ it takes you nowhere.
Will try again!!

There seems to be some problem with payment gateway. I too faced the same problem. I made payment 4 months ago but debited from my account recently. Wish that the problems get over soon.
Thank you.

Pulkit said
Is it a reliable website to buy stamps..?
Prashant Shah said
Dear Pulkit,
Development of e-commerce has its own threats and thats what is reflected. As I am always commited to provide authentic information, you can go ahead and buy the stamps. The stated site belongs to post office itself. I have also bought many stamps from the same site, there is no threat and quick delivery of the stamps. So go for it.

Recently, I created my own account and tried to purchase stamps online, but the transaction failed due to some problem. When I tried to login my account again, it said username/password is incorrect. I failed to re-establish my account also.
