1. These are beautiful stamps!
   I would like the Dutch Post did the same for the Dutch medal-winners. My daughter Yara van Kerkhof won two medals on the shorttrack event. We were there in Gangneung and enjoyed the games and the Korean skaters and public a lot!
   I would like to order these two sheets.
   How can I do that?

2. Great to hear from someone who was there at the time, especially from someone with such a close connection to the Olympics! It is indeed strange the Dutch postal service didn’t do this for the Dutch winners, it should have been easy to fit in amongst the stamp program and perhaps PostNL could have done the same thing as Royal Mail did in 2012 (publish stamps within 24 hours after each medal was won) creating extra buzz.

   If you are in Korea: the sheets and individual stamps should be available for some time after the publication date at any post office in Korea, but especially at central post offices, for instance the central post office in Seoul. Recent stamps are usually also available (as long as stocks last) at the Postal Museum in Seoul.

   From outside of Korea this will be much more difficult, especially if you can’t write Korean. The easiest thing to do is to contact KoreaPost through their English language website. This is available at http://koreastamp.epost.go.kr/. (Note that at the time of writing the Olympic stamps are not visible on the website as they haven’t been released yet.)

   If for some reason this doesn’t work out please contact me directly through the KSS website. I have philatelic items send to me regularly from Korea, two extra sheets should probably fit in.

   1. Thanks for your reply. Please try to purchase those two items for me. I was during the Olympics on Seoul and Gangneung. The Olympic stamps were sold out in every postoffice I went to. And I am not speaking or writing Korean.

4. Usually we do not accept commercial messages. At the same time we do also understand that it is often difficult for people interested in Korean stamps who live outside of Korea to get a hold of Korean stamps. Given that this offer is strictly related to Korean philately and not of a more general kind we will therefore publish this message.

   We have no positive or negative opinion regarding “pvstamps”. However, please do note that the KSS has no connection with “pvstamps” and accepts no responsibility for any trade agreed upon.
