Reading various forums (should that be fora<\/a> ?) it seems that one issue which is vexing people about our Shapeways items is the issue of shipping charges. Shapeways charge a flat-rate $6.50 to US addresses, $9.50 to Europe and an eye-watering $19.99 to the rest of the world (these are all US dollars, by the way). Which means that if you want just one or two models, shipping charges can form a significant proportion of the cost and make the purchase seem unecomomical.<\/p>\n

So here’s our suggestion. Rather than making your own orders, e-mail your orders to us. We’ll put together a big order on which we’ll pay just the one shipping charge (which, since we’re in Europe, won’t be too horrendous). Then, when the package arrives, we’ll split it up and send it out individually to the correct recipients.<\/p>\n

The downside of this will be time, so it’ll only work if you’re all patient – Shapeways orders take roughly 2-3 weeks to arrive, on top of which will be the time for the individual orders to get to you from us. And we’d have to wait for enough orders to build up to make it worthwhile, so we’d be looking at turnarounds of maybe 4-6 weeks or more.<\/p>\n

We’ll charge you the same price for a model as you would pay from Shapeways (including any VAT, depending on where you live) and postage will be at our normal rates<\/a>. We’ll send out PayPal invoices only when we place the order, so you won’t be paying weeks in advance of items being ordered.<\/p>\n

We can also take orders to be collected at shows – Salute in April or Broadside in June are the next two. We’d need orders for those shows around four weeks in advance to guarantee them getting to us in time, but obviously you’ll save on postage for orders collected in person.<\/p>\n

So that’s the idea – who’s interested ? Contact us on sales@brigademodels.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
