We were delighted to be invited to our first tank meet of the year by the Grantham Light Armoured Division, last Sunday 

A lot of work had been carried out by the club, communicating the rules for the meet, setting up a one way system round the venue, capturing contact details etc

It was great to see everyone again (behind their masks of course) and we hope to do this all again in September

Even the tanks were getting in on the social distancing requirements

It turns out face masks make perfect 1:16 scale dozer blade covers

A short note to ask for your co-operation if possible please 

We have noticed an increasing number of orders and also enquiries coming through the website, where customers are entering either incorrect or incomplete details 

Unfortunately, this is causing us problems when the website is sending automatic email notifications relating to orders, or when we are trying to respond to questions 

We would like to re-assure you that we do not share your contact details with anyone else, spam relentlessly with marketing emails or make cold calls

Thankyou 

We are seeing a spike in sales to overseas destinations, especially Canada, Australia and the USA

We have recently spotted that the cost of posting these items seems to have increased and this is not reflected in the postal costs we currently charge on the website

Therefore, you will notice that the cost of some postage options will increase. It will not be an increase across the board, we will just be raising costs where costs have gone up for us

As you know, we do try and get the best postage option for customers, but we do have to at least charge what we are paying to send items

Thankyou for your understanding

Thanks to the assistance of our local Post Office, all orders placed prior to lunchtime today have now been posted 

If you have an outstanding order, hopefully it will be with you shortly

​Again, thankyou for your patience 

As per the message on the website, we were away last week and unable to post anything

We have worked over the weekend to pack all outstanding orders and hope to have everything posted on Monday (thanks to the assistance of our local Post Office)

Thankyou for your patience during this time, it is appreciated 

Although Royal Mail seem to have caught up a great deal with their parcel deliveries, we are still seeing delays 

Customers are telling us that even first class items are taking almost two weeks to arrive in some parts of the UK

Second class items are also taking a while to arrive and even items posted to areas relatively close to us seem to be taking much longer than usual 

We are also seeing quite long delays with items being posted overseas, especially to the United States, which may still be related to the lack of commercial fights at the moment 

We will continue to post items every day Monday to Saturday and hopefully your item will reach you as soon as possible 

 

We are seeing increasing delays with items that we are posting to customers overseas

The lack of space for freight and mail due to the reduced number of flights is causing delays, even to premium, tracked services 

We are in contact with all carriers regarding any outstanding items, but please be aware that the lack of aircraft capacity does seem to be delaying items leaving the UK considerably

Thankyou for your patience 

Just a quick reminder that it is a Bank Holiday tomorrow here in the UK

Therefore, the Post Office will be closed, so we will be unable to post any items until Tuesday 26th May

This will of course delay the despatch of items and as Royal Mail do not work on Bank Holidays, there will be no UK postal deliveries on Monday either 

Please allow a couple of extra days for items to arrive 

Keep well and stay safe 

We have been seeing quite a lot of delays with parcels we have been posting out in the last few weeks, which is understandable, given the current circumstances. We have also seen delays in items reaching us

Royal Mail, like many other companies, appear to have been struggling with staff absences due to Covid-19 related illnesses and staff self isolating

They have now announced that, for the next few weeks, they will only be delivering parcels and other priority items, such as Special Delivery and Signed For on Saturdays, to try and clear any parcel backlogs at sites 

See text below from their website:

Services delivered on a SaturdayWe will temporarily no longer deliver letters on a Saturday from 2 May. Letters will be delivered as normal from Monday to Friday. We will resume the six-day-a-week delivery of letters and parcels from June 13.
Stay safe everybody
