Description
If you are buying from the USA, and having the item posted to the USA: due to new tariffs imposed by the current US administration there will be Import costs to pay which US Customs require to be paid before we can post the item to you. We can issue you a PayPal invoice for the amount, so please send us your PayPal email address when you pay for the item. Royal Mail will charge us for the Import duty and then pass it on to US Customs on your behalf.
The Import duties are as follows:
For items made in China: 35% + £1
For items made in the EU: 18% + £1
For items made in the UK: 13% + £1.
International buyers, please note: due to the fact that it has become so costly to post items to destinations outside the UK, we have decided to implement the eBay option not to accept returns from International buyers, unless of course we make a mistake. In the 15 years + that we have been trading on eBay we have only ever had two customers who have asked to return an item because they 'changed their mind, or bought the wrong item' We try and keep our prices and postage charges as low as we possibly can, so we cannot afford the losses that we would inevitably incur if we did accept remorse returns. We hope that you understand.
Please take a couple of moments to read through this item's description and information before buying. Thank you.
We have bought a great deal of new locos and rolling stock from Hornby which they brought back from the European factories of the European manufacturers which they took over a number of years ago. These locos, train packs, coach packs, wagon packs and other rolling stock are the examples which the manufacturers were keeping for themselves. We will be listing all these items over the next year or so. There are examples from Arnold, Electrotren, Jouef, Lima and Rivarossi. Everything is new and un-run although we will test each powered item before listing it for sale. If you have any questions, please just let us know. Regrettably we won't be able to search through the items we have for a specific item - there are simply too many of them. Some of them will no doubt be the only new one left any where in the world. Nothing else you can see in the photos is included...
