Belize is a Caribbean country located on the northeastern coast of Central America. It became a British colony in 1840, known as British Honduras, and a Crown colony in 1862.
The Maya Civilization spread into the area of Belize between 1500 B.C. and A.D. 300 and flourished until about 1200. European contact began in 1502 when Christopher Columbus sailed along the Gulf of Honduras. European exploration was begun by English settlers in 1638. This period was also marked by Spain and Britain both laying claim to the land until Britain defeated the Spanish in the Battle of St. George’s Caye (1798).
Independence was achieved from the United Kingdom on 21 September 1981.

I used to buy the stamps in your office in BC, but in 2020, 2021 and this year we did not come to visit Belize. I am thus asking how can I buy your stamps?
