CUSTOMS INSPECTIONS & IMPORT DUTY- PLEASE NOTE: Following the UK leaving the EU, some international packages may now be subject to scrutiny by Customs Officials. All my international parcels will be clearly marked 'FRAGILE' and contain a prominent Notice inside, confirming the extremely fragile nature of the item, together with its photograph. However, I cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by Customs or Postal Officials opening packages for inspection. Any Import Duty payable in destination country is also your responsibility. Deliveries internationally may also be delayed as a consequence, so please have regard to this when leaving feedback. Before bidding, please ensure you fully understand this information.
I always try to describe items in a reasonable manner, but please make your own judgement by studying the photos carefully. If you have any questions, please email me BEFORE you place your bid.
AND: only bid if you want the item; time wasters are not welcome!
All items are VERY carefully packed & padded in strong boxes for posting, to minimise the risk of damage in transit, but please be aware that there is always a risk of slight damage as these models are fragile, so in that event please be prepared to repair/re-fix any parts which may have become detached. I do my best, but I have no control over postal service/Customs handling! I use suitable recycled packaging where possible, but my postage charge includes a modest extra amount to cover some materials which inevitably have to be bought in, plus packing time, travel to Post Office, etc. (Please appreciate that if I charge postage at cost, I will actually LOSE money)
PAYMENT IN FULL REQUIRED WITHIN 3 DAYS OF SALE END.
If you are bidding on any of my other items listed, or if you anticipate any genuine delay in paying (eg: on holiday when sale ends), please tell me!
Thank you very much for your interest.
