Hello Colin, Sorry the first item didn't get to you. We send post via Royal Mail Tracked, so as soon as you contacted us, we could see there was an issue with your delivery and resent the item First Class. Which via the tracking I see arrived the next day.

Five star ratings are a joke and give no actual indication of service, but I wouldn't want to give an actual rating as it would harm a perfectly fine business. 3 stars should be did what it said on the box not 5 which should be above and beyond.

Really good model supplies company

Really good model supplies company, with the best prices for Milliput, which I use a lot. My order arrived quickly and well packaged. My only - and very tiny - criticism is that the range of items cater mostly for model enthusiasts, so is a bit limited for my particular purposes. I will definitely use the shop again for any model supplies I need however.
