where did Masterclub go?

[Bozothenutter]

nobody has much stock, site down/unreachable.......

I get mine from Historex Agents here,don’t know what the cost would be to you though.

They were at Telford, but nothing new as far as I could see.

There were a couple of ebay sellers that stocked them, but not sure if restocked?

This guy is good too. Should be ok for Netherlands delivery. I think.

Another vote for Wildcats from me. They seem to be the easiest way of getting Masterclub without waiting for Telford.

tried Wildcats........went fine until they wanted 35 pounds for shipping!

 

for about 100 quids worth of PE.....

I know that international shipping-costs have exploded in the last 2 years, but that is "extracting the proverbial"!

You should try ordering to the UK from France or Germany. £20 postage for a set of 72nd resin Stuka exhausts from Germany. Less than 20 all in from Poland.

Strange,  I'm a regular with sockelshop and König, and shipping DHL is normally priced.

Must a an outside of EU thing then....

Some retail shops really are milking it.  I looked at various UK suppliers for postage to NZ.  They ranged from 20 UK pounds to over 80 pounds.

DHL from hobby easy....€111 !!!!

Admittedly cheaper options available 😉

I thought that, but last time i checked Poland was in the EU and is further away from the UK than Germany. Sockelshop is the German site i looked at, used to order from them quite a bit, but not now.

Just received a bunch of Taurus model NBW's......ordered the smaller end of the scale...

 

surely they must be joking!

I think that the overseas suppliers are having to add VAT at 20% after you place the order.

 

A certain HMR&C may be to blame for the high postage costs

Aren’t they Russian? I doubt we will be getting anything from there for a while!

I was thinking that. A pity as they are really nice bits but not exactly the most important outcome of one little man's stupidity.
