Excellent Service

Competitive price, very reasonable postage cost, fast delivery and very well packaged. You can't get much better than that. Many thanks.

No updates on order for 4 (Now 5) Months - Date 12/09/25

I have had an order waiting for 4 months with this retailer. After having one update after waiting 2 weeks I have had nothing since despite me requesting more information. My order was made in March and we are now in August. Lack of communication and ignoring requests for updates. Will not be shopping here again.

- Update 12/09/25:

I have had a single email to say they are looking into the order when I have already requested a refund. This was a month ago when I posted this review and still nothing. I would like my money returning so I can go elsewhere.

No phone calls were answered.

I placed my order at Easter and finally got it delivered at the end of July. I appreciate the long delivery time was not your fault. Although I tried on numerous occasions to phone and find out what was happening with my order I never managed to get through.
I did however get a number of email updates which were good to get.

Failed delivery

I paid a very enhanced fee for a next day delivery. This failed and did not arrive. As a result I now have three very expensive two way slips that are of no use. (reason too long to explain, but will do so should this be required ).
Very dissapointed indeed.

Fantastic items very large range of all…

Fantastic items very large range of all types of hobby fun.
Contact them and service is first class. Bought a few things from them over the last year.
But I thought I’d have a go at one of their competitions… it was an added purchase to bring my total up. While they have been busy and thought nothing more of it.
They sent out an apology for delays. And several draws took place.
Prices have been sent out.
I was one of these winners.

I definitely recommend this company.
If I was closer I would definitely visit them. But online works for me just now.

Their competitions are a scam

Their competitions are a scam. They violate their own terms of service when they do not meet the required number of entries by not making the draw or issuing refunds and cancelling the draw. They then ignore all email and messages. If you try and call the number either doesn’t connect or goes to voice mail. I managed to get through ones and got fobbed off. One competition was declared rolled after 16months despite no change to the number of entries and no email to confirm and another competition has been removed from the website with no email confirmation or refund. Don’t bother entering, it is a money making scam.
