I ordered a very special gift…
I ordered a very special gift for a girlfriend and, because of a breakdown in communications that had NOTHING TO DO with Darlington Diecast, I started to become anxious that the delivery would not be made in time.
Consequently, I rang them quite a few times, anxious and frustrated, and THEY COULD NOT HAVE BEEN NICER OR MORE HELPFUL.
Really, really friendly service. And best of all, the product I ordered is better than I could have imagined!!!
Thank you 😊💯👌

Superb service
Superb service. Went to shop for one specific car that web site said they had. All the Staff spent way more than 5 minutes trying to locate it. Just about every other shop would have said "Web site is wrong" and given up after 30 seconds. Eventually they did locate it and they even discounted it as it had taken so long to unearth it! How many shops would do that?

Thank you Mark for your feedback. Hope to se you a gain soon
Slight mishap but immediately reached out to correct.
Chose free P+P but wasn’t enough postage paid so I had to pay a surcharge.
But… because the original prices were so cheap, it still worked out costing less than anywhere else I had seen my items (hence me still giving four stars)
Edit. Darlington Diecast did reach out straight away to rectify what I already guessed was a innocent mistake and have changed my rating (Shops like these are a godsend and I don’t believe they should be ‘punished’ for a genuine mistake)

Sorry Dave regarding the p/p The cost of the p/p, for the surcharge should come back to us. Let me know how much it was and we will refund the difference
Great Website for Diecast Models
Quick delivery from placing my order. Item packed perfectly and received as shown in picture. Thrilled with my purchase of the Corgi Thunderbirds FAB 1 car.
