First order that I placed

First order that I placed, and it was a good thing to do! The articles were securely packed, and arrived as announced in a reasonable time delay. I’ll surely count on your services in future! Thanks

Excellent and quick service

Excellent and quick service. I was startled to find the order arrived here in the U.S. in a matter of days (not weeks) and that international shipping cost less than some domestic web-stores calculate. In the words of Arnold, “I’ll be back.”

Ilias is the best to buy from

Ilias is the best to buy from, and as I am myself a 48er, that's the shop I've been always looking for! No need to select scale, just search for what you want and buy it at the best prices and with the best postage!

Hard to Find Items

I've spent the last several months looking for Kasl Hobbies kit K48007. Every other online hobby retailer I checked that listed it was out of stock. The 48ers.com had it. Yes, they're in Europe and yes, I knew it would take a month to get the kit. They sent an email with a tracking number once the kit shipped. It arrived about a week after arriving in New York to clear customs. Great service. I'm looking forward to buying from them again when I can't find items here in the U. S.

As we focus on a single scale, we aim at having available the entire product range from the manufacturers we work with.

Thanks for the feedback Nick especially about the shipping times. Cheers!
