Kadine Stamps takes pride in its service and continually seeks to provide its clients with the best. Here are comments from some of our many customers.

Kadine Stamps is a family business managed by John Kilpatrick and his wife Patty. Based in New Plymouth, Taranaki, which is on the West Coast on the North Island of New Zealand, half way between Auckland and Wellington.

John, himself a long-time collector of high standards, manages the shop and general sales, while Patty looks after the mail order side of the business. John and Patty's commitment to their customers can be summed up:-

"At Kadine Stamps we believe our clients deserve quality, well-priced material backed up by friendly dedicated service".

John - I enjoy the challenge of running our own business, and have collected stamps most of my life. I have been a serious collector of Fiji stamps and postal history, and exhibited in several International Exhibitions. After graduating as an accountant I worked in the corporate area for several years before deciding to become a full time Stamp Dealer. When not working in stamps, I enjoy squash and swimming.

Patty - I look after the mail order and Ebay dispatch part of the business and enjoy the customer contact, often building up friendships over the years. I graduated with a BSC in Zoology from Otago University (Dunedin) and like running our small farmlet, and spoiling our pets - cat, goat, alpaca and calves. I also enjoy gardening, playing tennis, hiking, and working out at the gym. I like learning about other cultures and visited Nepal several years ago, which was a great experience.

Sheryll - I have been working at Kadine Stamps since 2000. I am responsible for keeping our Website updated, dealing with ‘ebay’ activities, maintaining computers, and general office administration. I come from a family of 6 children (4 brothers and 1 sister), and have many nephews and nieces. I am a cat fanatic and like collecting most cat things i.e. cat ornaments. My other interests include roller-skating and handcrafts. I am a stamp collector myself, starting when I was young, and now collect New Zealand, Cats and Skating stamps for enjoyment. I am currently Secretary of the local Philatelic Society (stamp club).

Sinead - I began working for Kadine Stamps in July 2009. I am responsible for dealing with our Trade Me activities, preparing and dispatching items from our Weekly Specials e-mail list and general office administration. I was born and bred in Taranaki and come from a family of only two children (one older sister). I enjoy spending time at the Taranaki beaches in summer and snowboarding in winter. I also enjoy socialising and spending time with family and friends.

John A - I’ve been with Kadine Stamps since February 2009. My previous occupations have been as a Land Valuer, and then 21 years as a Dairy Farmer. My job here entails sorting and describing items for weekly sales and ebay. I also do stock maintenance and help fill mail orders. I have collected/accumulated stamps from an early age, and still maintain collections of New Zealand, Russia and the Baltic States. My other interests include pottery and keeping in touch with an expanding number of grandchildren.

Barry - My wife and I came to New Zealand from England in 1974. I had a job to teach at New Plymouth Girls High School in the Science Department. After taking early retirement from High School teaching, I have worked part-time at Kadine Stamps for the last eight years. My job here entails sorting and describing items for weekly sales and ebay. I have been a stamp collector on and off since childhood. My other interests include coin collecting and wood turning, particularly making traditional lace bobbins.
