*** POSTAGE RATES  ***  PLEASE NOTE!! ***

eBay Rates are incorrect as they do not show all European providers and include extra charges. UK & Central Europe (EU & Switzerland) is currently £22, £30 for the Eastern Europe and there are now also Various Worldwide Rates, typically £50, but please ask before purchasing, with your full postal address, so I can advise accordingly from the Colissimo Website and then I will send a seperate, postal invoice for the best rate available, from me to you via PayPal.

*Note* This will be Tracked & Fully Insured due to the hi value and rarity of the model.

If postage is then less to your destination after packaging, then I will refund the difference as rates are quite variable at this moment in time and it is quite a jump from 2 to 5 Kg and then from 10 and 20 Kg now get the higher rates. 

Do contact me if you can suggest an alternative or have any queries via eBay messaging or to  

the-alchemist@orange.fr

and I will see what I can do.

****    PAYMENT    ****

PayPal is the preferred method as we all have some protection, but I will also accept Cheques made on a UK bank account but will wait for clearance before posting.  You can also use instant bank transfers using BACs so contact me as above if you want these other methods.   I also expect payment within 3 days unless we have agreed to extend this and if you are making other purchasers etc; but do let me know.

**********************************

I have been collecting Die Cast (& Plastic) Models since the 50s and as I have now retired and downsized, I am going to offer many of the larger models I have, that I no longer have room to display.  Many are still unopened in the original boxes and most are now quite rare so look out for other listings over the coming months.

I have over 700 to go thru from Aircraft to Model Cars, many from high end manufacturers and those I have had out on Display have been well looked after in sealed cases & cabinets and I have always kept the boxes in most cases.  Prices will be from £9.99 to well over a grand so do watch this space.  Some will be offered at Buy it Now/ Best Offer prices and others thru normal auction listings to suit.  Contact me if you are looking for anything in particular or have questions, as I may be able to help and you can get me at   the-alchemist@orange.fr   and I will reply as quickly as possible.

Please note that many of these Models will be shipped from France and the UK so postage rates will vary to different locations so please wait for me to get items weighed and advise of the costings from either a budget range, Courier or full Track & Trace with Insurance.  Items over £50 in value will be sent at the Insured Track & Trace rates current at the time of sale and will include for more than adequate packaging.

I will accept returns only if the item is not correctly described and you should advise me of any problems encountered as I will do all I can to keep you, the prospective customer, happy.  I would value your input at any time and would ask that you contact me if you have a problem and hope that you will leave me full positive feedback and I will do the same for you on receipt.

Please do not leave Negative feedback before contacting me as I will do my best to resolve any issues with you, the purchaser as my aim is only to please and I am an avid collector too.

Thanks for Looking and Happy Collecting.
