Category: Why Buy From Us?

1. Lower Shipping Prices!

   Posted on 10:00am Sunday 9th Mar 2025

   

   It's not often in todays market that we get to announce that delivery costs have fallen instead of increased. For shipping on all of our items, we only charge customers the price that delivery services charge us - all packaging and admin is free - and so it's nice to be able to pass these offers down to our customers.

   The standard DPD 3 day delivery charge has now reduced from £7.67 to £5.99 for delivery direct to a home address. This covers the majority of the UK, with any extra costs only due if the delivery is to a remote location eg Highlands. In this instance, we'll contact you with the most affordable delivery options for you to choose from.

   As our regular customers know, we rate DPD very highly for reliability, efficiency and traceability - especially for the larger bulkier items - so are happy to recommend them.

   Royal Mail options are still also available for smaller items, or if your location isn't covered by the DPD network yet.

   Due to the new shipping and customs regulations introduced at the end of 2024, please note that we are now only able to deliver goods within the United Kingdom (excluding Northern Ireland).

   We are a small family business that has been trading online since 2006.

   Over the years, we're proud to have built a reputation for quality and reliability for our projects and products.

   Secure Delivery

   As collectors ourselves, we know how disheartening it is to find that your online purchase has been hurriedly packed into a postal bag and as a result, arrived creased or broken. To prevent this, we take the time and effort to pack all orders securely using strong packaging materials.

   We also use trusted couriers to deliver our larger items. DPD has large coverage over the UK, and has been particularly impressive throughout the current Royal Mail strike situation. All deliveries sent via this service have arrived in good time, in perfect condition and are fully trackable both for ourselves and our customers.

   The DPD delivery option also provides customers with a timeslot, and the option to collect from a local parcel shop if that is easier for them.

   Secure Shopping System

   Our store checkout is provided by Paypal, which remains the most secure online payment system. This gives the option to pay using your Paypal account, or via the Guest Checkout for both Paypal and card payments. We are not provided with any payment information other than the amount and the delivery name & address for your item.

   All new item listings are added to our social media accounts (and soon to this new blog page) which you can view at leisure.

   UK Based

   All off-the-shelf items listed are ready and waiting to be shipped, and are not pre-orders or dropshipped. The product photo will be of the actual product you'll receive, giving you the best idea of the item condition.

   All of our light kit items are assembled in our workshop, using the best materials and construction. We pride ourselves in quality, and only use the best components.

   We thank all of our customers for supporting a UK business, which is greatly appreciated, and always try to offer the best customer service.
