ABBAMAIL has been running a small mail order merchandise service for ABBA fans since early 1997. The mail order service originally began to help us cover the huge losses incurred in running our Australian Tour 20 Year Anniversary Convention. As ABBAMAIL grew and expanded, the associated costs increased dramatically and so our merchandise service has continued.

We offer a small selection of ABBA related items, mostly exclusive to ABBAMAIL. ABBAMAIL is run by fans for fans and money raised from the selling of these products assists to fund ABBAMAIL's website, internet mailing list and other activities (e.g. fan meetings, conventions). Read about ABBAMAIL's mission here.

Our merchandise range is aimed at what we call 'hard-core' ABBA fans. These are fans who have already purchased all the officially released CDs, Videos and DVDs available. Hard-core fans are looking for more ABBA merchandise to buy but find that much of the material they crave has not been, and probably never will be, released officially and commercially.

We do not believe in selling 'bootleg' CDs, CD-Rs, Videos etc. of material that has already been released commercially by Universal Music. We also do not support the downloading and distribution of Mp3s etc. that contain officially released material.

We expect fans to support the members of ABBA by buying their officially released CDs, Videos, DVDs etc. from normal retailers. ABBA's back catalogue (e.g. all 8 studio albums, the Thank You For The Music 4CD box set and many "hits" compilations) and accompanying videos and DVDs (e.g. ABBA GOLD, The Definitive Collection, ABBA - The Movie, ABBA Live in Concert, The Winner Takes It All & Super Trouper documentaries) are all easily available in music retailers across the world. There are also many on-line services available that sell 'the real thing' - some of these are listed on our official sources page.

Our bottom line attitude is this: if it is available officially, then do the right thing, buy the real thing to make sure the members of ABBA get the royalties.

ABBAMAIL prides itself on offering a fast, efficient and reliable service to fans. We know that ordering items from websites can be like a lottery and you can be assured that service is our top priority. We have been consistently praised about our merchandise service by fans all around the world.

Common Questions:

Why does it take two weeks to process orders?
ABBAMAIL is a small, fan based organisation. It is not a full time job/company for the people that run it. They also have jobs and other commitments. We make every attempt to dispatch your order as soon as possible.

Can I order by phone or email?
No, unfortunately we are not authorised by our bank to accept orders by telephone or via email. We have a webshop to accept orders by internet if you have a credit card.

I have some other questions that I'd like answers to before I order.
Please remember that we are contactable by e-mail for those tricky questions at: sales@abbamail.com
