ssculptor Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Thank you much! This looks like a workable solution to the problem of distribution. Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_G Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) no real surprise regarding prices... for EU customers it will be: kit price + VAT + shipping e.g. shipping to Slovakia is 24€ per kit + 20% VAT so I can get e.g. Sopwith Pup for 115€ or Postwar Dh.9a for 181€ so for me real increase is the shipping fee - 24€ per item (doesnt matter if its Felixtowe or Pup) and there is no possibility to combine shipping for multiple items but I don't mind, I will put my first order today Edited July 18, 2016 by Jan_G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Roger Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Tried to go to Weta website, browser says site might not be secure. Anyone else experience this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero77 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) no real surprise regarding prices... for EU customers it will be: kit price + VAT + shipping f.e. shipping to Slovakia is 24€ per kit + 20% VAT so I can get f.e. Sopwith Pup for 115€ or Postwar Dh.9a for 181€ so for me real increase is the shipping fee - 24€ per item (doesnt matter if its Felixtowe or Pup) and there is no possibility to combine shipping for multiple items but I don't mind, I will put my first order today Ouch ! I did not notice VAT was not included.... So the increase would be really substancial... A $69 kit a few months ago is now about 80€ + VAT (16€) + shipping (24€?) = 120€ = $132. Price increase almost 100% .... I know many already had to pay the import duty and VAT, but not everybody. And i dont mind paying the shipment (after all, it's not free and has to be paid by someone) but it would be nice to have a free shipping for orders over XX€, as Hannants or other shops do. I'm glad i already bought'em all before. Edited July 18, 2016 by Zero77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTroll Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I suspect this is still a work in progress. I ran a couple trial purchases almost to completion and noticed that UPS shipping from the US warehouse was the same for 1 kit as it was for 3 kits. Delivery date was in late October but UPS delivery is normally 3-5 days even from the West Coast. I think we need to give them a couple more days to get all the connections made before we start bemoaning no new model announcements...I hope.

LSP_K2 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Fortunately for me (sort of), there are no WNW kits that I really want anymore, except for a few that are already OOP, naturally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vulcan32 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 When I ordered my first Gothas I had to pay €200,- for two. Now it´s €230,- for one. I think they will lose some customers in Europe. Glad that I will get an Albatros for €60,- tomorrow(from an Austrian trading platform). Cheers, Heinz Zero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Really want the post-war Brisfit and DH9a kits - but I think they'll have to wait a little longer... Let's see how everything beds in. Iain LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
is it windy yet? Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 $40 USD or $57 USD shipping to Canada is a little too steep to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Not bad at all for me here in the US; Fokker E.IV, $79 + $16.72 shipping, and that's it. I can definitely live with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 IIRC, they were going to have distribution points in US and Europe? Might want to wait till we hear more about these. They might be skewing their prices to favor using the new distribution system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
