Would You Be Interested In An NGF 10 Year Wagon/Van? - available now!,

[Hightower]

Ordered myself one. Although I've only been on the forum a small part of the 10 years, it's been a constant source of inspiration and advice, so can't wait to get the wagon on my layout.

Sorry, but £22.95 overseas postage seems to be verging on a rip-off. According to the Royal Mail website, a small parcel to, say, Japan is only about a fiver. It would be cheaper if they sent to a UK address and one of us forwarded it on. How hard can it be?

Leaving that aside, my order's in! Good work @Tank !

Cheers,

Chris

No, Mark and the staff at The Wagon Yard are still looking for a matching pair of skirts for yours!

While I still think the P&P is a bit on the high side, assuming filling in the customs forms for Japan and the extra time at the post office in dealing with it (assuming RM rather than a courier) only take half an hour; at minimum wage that's already another fiver. Add the extra packaging needed for survival over the longer shipping distance and it easily adds up. [edit] If it's a small outfit and the sole proprietor isn't aiming to be on minimum wage, then you're looking at the time lost in doing the P&P eating up a decent amount of cost. So I can understand why it's such a high price, but it does make it somewhat off-putting still.

I was actually rather impressed with Revolution's somewhat brave packaging for the Sonic 56xx's they sent to me in Spain. Pretty much just a Jiffy bag level of protection around the boxes, relying on the actual product packaging to do the protection.

It doesn't actually look too bad a wagon.

But I shall still decline and let others take advantage.

I ordered one yesterday, and yes, the postage to Australia came as a bit of a shock, but as NewportNobby reminded me, that money would have probably gone on Victoria Bitter anyway 

[RBTKraisee]

SWMBO has told me I've spent too much already recently and I must wait until January, when I can use some of my Xmas money!!

Hopefully there will still be at least two remaining!

I'm going to ping Mark regarding the international postage thing.
