The orders I placed in the past were greater than £50, so qualified for free postage anyway

The current order sitting in my basket is £400, but unlike previous where I could add items that were not stock this is no longer possible
Also, the basket shows Loyalty Points worth £15, but there is no page explaining how this scheme works...
Finally, postage no longer appears to be free for orders of £50 and over

This was over three years ago! Our prices are competetive with the big boys, and postage is charged at little more than cost. The Free postage on orders over £50 was supposed to be run for a month to launch our then new website (in 2007) but it actually ran for over 2 years.

Surely now is the time to take advantage of the free delivery? :)

No, but I grew up in Lichfield and went to college at Burton Tech. I was always a fan of the Midland Mainline and Burton had some great loco traction in the 90's so made sence to model that area.

I just placed an order for '3% Incline Starter 6/Pk 3/4 inch'.  This should be enough to get me started on my inclines to my bridges for 4 tracks.  Presuming of course that the "6/Pk" does actually mean 6 Pack and not something else. :worried: :D

Great idea about the free postage, and handy that you take paypal (as I don't take my cards with me to work), so I'll have a proper look at your site when I get to work. :)

The postman gave me a nice package to sign for this morning as I was on my way out.
Everythings turned up, nicely packaged in bubble wrap in a neat little box.  8)
Quick delivery too  :thumbsup:  :thankyousign:
Plenty to keep me going on with and will no doubt shop there again for bits.
Now, I have my brass flux  :), wheres my soldering iron...  :hmmm:
