Why does that sound like famous last words, (I'm kidding Tony) I'll have to look up what you've ordered, I have no idea what window 6 lite areOkay - back on topic - just ordered some of the following:
EZ-006C EZ Heavy Line .006 Charcoal
TICH-2510 N Scale Tichy Trains Window 6 Lite
TICH-2505 N Scale Tichy Trains Door 4 lite 3 panel
They're coming USPS so I WILL get them in a few days
They make it very hard to complain as everything is automated, especially their complaints line, unfortunately (for them) some years ago I got hold of their CEO's email address in France, I just email him, gets sorted in less than 24hrs.
Coming from an "Aussie" I'll take that as a compliment.
Do they do HO scale windows too ?Sorry @Smudge617 forgot you were a "foreigner"
Here you are:
I normally post pics of what I buy as well - guess I am just getting lazy in my uh hum age
Yes Sir - they certainly do:
Mech-Models sell a range of them!
Yeah I just thought of them too, only 20 miles from me, I need to speak to them anyway. I'm waiting for a EMD SD90 I pre-ordered from them last year, due in around now I hope.
Chris, quiet! They might be listening.
Always the way, you think you know where it is, but it isn't. Royal Mail tracking is the same, I've a parcel in transit, but it's been delivered, the box TomO sent had a big label on it to say "Customs Duty Payable" "Not To Be Delivered until Paid", but I've got the box as you know, I'm still waiting for the letter to say I have to pay Custom's Duty
DHL International is great "coming into the US" especially from the UK but it isn't so good going out of the US and is much more expensive as well. Just something to think about.
I worked closely with Custom's agents all over Europe including the UK, while I was a long hauler, I know how they, and their systems work, so it doesn't matter, that box is on their system because it incurred Import Tax, if I don't pay it or at least contact them within 28 days, my name and address will be flagged, and then I will get another letter demanding payment of the original amount and could also receive a penalty notice of up to £1000 fine, plus every box I get from anyone, anywhere outside the UK will be opened and examined, for the cost of 20 quid, simpler to just pay it.
Ok I get it. Here in the US they wouldn’t bother after the package was delivered.
The problem with DHL although it is a good company, once outside the US it's often handed off to another (cheaper) company to deliver, like Evri so unless you quite literally pay through the nose for DHL to deliver it. I don't know how Tom sent his box to me, but it arrived by Royal Mail, which is to the good as their far more reliable than Evri, if it can't be delivered they have to return it to their local parcel depot and you have to go and collect it.
The UK are quite strict on things like that, they'll chase every $ they can.
I've been a big Amazon customer from the beginning, you know back when they were just a book store (1995?). I was still working on one of my degrees and started buying all my text books from them rather than the university book store. This was before most people knew what the internet was, let alone what the world wide web was. In 1998 they expanded to music and movies. I was not happy when in 1999 they started selling everything. I then I got used to it, and the 2 day free shipping! Now I depend on it to get get things like birthday gifts to where I need them to be on time.
