1. Who are Bondstars.com?
Bondstars.com was formed in May 2003, our goal is to provide affordable authentic hand signed merchandise to the serious Bond autograph collector. We are based at the world famous Pinewood Studios which has been the home of James Bond for over 40 years.

2. Are your items genuinely hand signed by the artists?
All our items are hand signed by the artist and we do not sell fakes, pre-prints or secretarial signatures. Bondstars.com is officially endorsed by the artist and we do not hold private signings and claim these to be official endorsements like other sites. All items are signed exclusively for us with full co-operation of the artist.

3. Why are your autographs inexpensive compared to other dealers?
One of the reasons for forming Bondstars.com was to provide a service to those fans who cannot attend the autograph and memorabilia shows which our artists often attend. Our pricing structure also ensures the customer will get a high quality item at an affordable price instead of paying inflated prices for poor quality or questionable merchandise.

4. Do items come with a Certificate of Authenticity?
All items come with a non-transferable Certificate of Authenticity in the form of a sticker on the back of each item, the sticker is coated with acid free adhesive which will not affect the quality of your photographs in time to come. The COA provides information on the location of the signing, the witness to the signature and the date of signing. Please do not request your item to be sent without our COA, it is there for a reason and cannot be provided separately.

5. Do you offer discount?
Discounts are available if 10 or more items are purchased in the same order. Dealer enquiries are welcome. Please contact us for more details. Artists who donate their profits to charity are not included in our discount scheme.

6. What payment methods do Bondstars.com accept?
All major credit cards are accepted via Paypal. We will also accept cash in US Dollars, Euros or UK Pounds Sterling (cash should be sent securely and is at the own customers risk). For United Kingdom based customers we also accept personal cheque's and postal orders which should be made payable to Bondstars Dot Com.

7. What are the Shipping Costs
All worldwide shipping costs are included in the prices stated.

8. Is it possible to get my own personal item signed by one of your artists?
Unfortunately due to logistical reasons we cannot provide this service at present.

9. What autograph \ memorabilia events do Bondstars artists attend?
We normally attend the Memorabilia show at the Birmingham N.E.C where our line ups have included George Lazenby, Maryam d'Abo, Maud Adams, Michael Billington, John Moreno, John Wyman, Richard Kiel, Blanche Ravalec, Shirley Eaton and many many more. Our artists also attend shop signings such as the Vintage Magazine Store in London and the Infinitely Better Store in Swindon.
