Frequently Asked Questions

Travel Stamps are collectible artist-illustrated, educational vinyl stickers for everywhere you travel, inspired by the bygone era of postage stamp collecting. Each Travel Stamp features two stickers: the illustrated "stamp" and the interpretive text sticker. Travel Stamps tell the unique story of each destination, and they tell your story, of all the places you go and experiences you create.

Travel Stamps can be collected in a variety of ways including various collection books, binders, water bottles, journals, walls, cars, coolers, laptops, luggage, and more! There isn't one right way to collect. Preserve your adventures in a way that makes sense for you! Keep it simple or elaborate. Need inspiration? Check out our socials!

No. While our design is inspired by postage stamps, they are NOT postage and would make for ineffective – and extremely large – postage. A Travel Stamp is about 4x the size of a Forever Stamp.

Yes! The adhesive used on Travel Stamps is "removable-permanent". When you first place the decal, it will not feel permanent and can be lifted, removed, and re-stuck. Once left alone for 24 hours, it will be permanently adhered. Because Travel Stamps are vinyl, they are waterproof and will hold up on any smooth surface inside or outside. That said, we recommend hand-washing any bottles or items instead of machine dishwashing to extend longevity. If placed outside, we recommend a spot that isn't in full, direct sun. While there is a UV protective layer that will prevent fading for a couple years, they were not designed to be full-sun outdoor stickers.

The entire rectangular sheet is 2 7/8" wide and 6" tall.
The Stamp itself is 1 ¾" wide and 2 1/8" tall.
The text sticker at the bottom is 2 7/8" wide and 1 ¾" tall.

Our support is built into the way we do business. Because we work directly with public lands and other destination partners, we focus on helping them earn more from every product they sell. We provide free freight, custom development, and highly competitive wholesale pricing, giving our partners stronger profit margins on custom Travel Stamps products. This allows more of the revenue from each sale to remain with the park or destination, where it can support conservation, education, visitor services, and other programs that matter most to them. Rather than choosing a cause on their behalf, we help each partner generate funds they can use according to their own needs and mission. When you can, we encourage you to collect Travel Stamps on-site.

All of our products are made in the USA or Canada.

No, all Travel Stamps are illustrated by real artists in the US and Canada. The name of each artist can be found on the right side of every Travel Stamp.

Our Achievement stamps were designed to be placed in official Travel Stamp Album & Guides. Each Album & Guide has space for its own regional achievement stamps and final "I Saw Them All" stamp. Our soft-cover albums each have a space for one small "I Saw Them All" stamp, but no spaces for regional achievement stamps. There are not specific "I Saw Them All" pages for the Binder or Booklet, but you can use the blank pages for this purpose if you so choose.

The bottom text sticker of every Travel Stamp can be collected in a variety of ways. There is NOT a designated space for this sticker in either of our Album & Guides since there is already interpretation printed in the book. And there is NOT a space for this sticker on our Water Bottles. However, there are designated spaces to save this sticker in all of our soft-cover Albums, a variety of Binder pages, and our Blank Collection Booklet.

We recommend keeping no more than 50 pages in your binder. All our pages are double sided and remember to leave room for photos, maps and other memorabilia.

26. For each stamp there is a line in the Directory, a space for the stamp's corresponding text sticker, date visited, and blank space to write, draw, or paste memorabilia.

5 booklets fit comfortably in the Binder but will differ depending on how many other pages/dividers/memorabilia you have added.

Yes. This helps us weed out any bots and allows you to save, change, or look at the destinations you've voted for.

No, anyone can submit a suggestion to the Voting Platform.

Submissions take up to two business days to be approved by a team member. This allows us to catch bot submissions, inappropriate submissions, or duplicate submissions. If you haven't seen your suggestion appear after two business days, please reach out to us.

Votes are tallied at the end of each month. The top three will always be made, except for copyrighted, private destinations (ie: Disney). Sometimes we will tally the top votes for a specific genre, like top countries, top park features, or top lighthouses, etc.

Yes and No. Anyone can browse the tracker as a guest, but to save stamps you have collected or add stamps to your Wishlist, you will need to have an account. When you are logged in, the "got it" stamp will appear next to any stamp you have tracked when browsing the website.

Red: you don't have it. Blue: you do have it. Yellow: you want it.

A dot indicates a single-state destination. If there is no dot in the middle of the pin, then that destination spans multiple states.

Yes, there are many filters available to you. You can filter by category, by state, by release date, or by your specific collection (ie: stamps I have). You can also combine filters (ie: how many of the 50 states do I have? Or how many destinations along Route 66 are in Oklahoma?).

Click the "star" next to the destination listing on the tracker or on the stamp product page.

Yes, when you go to the tracker select "Wishlist" from the drop-down menu at the top. You will then see a button that says "Share Wishlist," send it to yourself or someone else.

Sometimes the automatic discount will time-out, or not recalculate if you add/remove stamps after starting the checkout process. If the automatic discount goes away, you can enter the appropriate discount code manually:

• 10OFF10 (10% off 10-24 stamps)
• 15OFF25 (15% off 25-39 stamps)
• 20OFF40 (20% off 40-54 stamps)
• 25OFF55 (25% off 55+ stamps)

The decision to raise our prices was not taken lightly but became necessary after years of rising production costs and requests from our park partners who are in need of more support from their visitor center gift shops. To make the transition smoother, we launched an automatic multi-stamp discount program, with volume discounts ranging from 10%-25% along with a phased approach. We are selling through the $2.99 stamps we have on-hand, but once they are sold out and restocked, they will be $3.99. Volume discounts apply to all stamps, whether they are $2.99 or $3.99.

Since every visitor center (NPS and beyond) is independently run, we have no way of tracking exactly where and when Travel Stamps are in stock. However, if you're in a location that does not have Travel Stamps in stock and you think they should, tell them! Customer voices speak the loudest and we will be happy to set up a new partner or restock an existing one!

We typically fill orders the same-day or next-business-day except for holidays. Domestic orders take 2-10 days to arrive once they are filled. Standard letters (no tracking) can sometimes take more than 10 days to arrive based on USPS traffic. International delivery differs depending on the country and delivery method (first class/priority) but tracking always stops after it leaves the US border.

Yes, we do not cover any additional duty fees imposed by your country. You may need to pay this at your local post office depending on size and cost of order.

Domestic: Sometimes USPS delivers packages to the wrong address. Sometimes they lose a package. Sometimes packages are stolen. Please first reach out to USPS – they can see exactly where your package was marked as "Delivered". If the package seems lost or stalled in the USPS tracking system, please let us know. If USPS cannot locate your package, please reach out to us at orders@travelstamps.com.

International: Some countries require an additional "duty" on merchandise over a certain dollar amount. If you placed an international order and tracking says your order has arrived in your country but hasn't been delivered for several days or weeks, check with your local post office, they may be holding it. Please note that USPS tracking stops after it leaves US borders.

We are happy to refund any products that are new and in resalable condition if returned within 30 days. We do not supply return labels. We are also happy to exchange new and resalable stamps at any time. Simply reply to any of our email correspondence or reach out to us at orders@travelstamps.com.
