discussion Airfix/eModels delivery advice

[blacbul67]

Hi I have pre-odered the Airfix 1/24 Spitfire direct from Airfix (with free standard delivery for £95) I have just seen the kit for £85 at eModels I would then pay £8.95 or £9.50 for Tracked and insured delivery from FedEx or DPD respectively. I am not bothered about getting the kit a few days quicker but definitely want to receive it in as good condition as possible or have come back if it is damaged. What experience do you folk have with Airfix, Emodels, Federal Express or DPD as I am wondering whether to cancel my pre-order with Airfix and pre-order with eModels for the peace of mind Insurance brings? Maybe you have other retailers you can recommend?

Thanks in advance for your experiences/advice.

Scale model shop you can pre order, £85.49 and free delivery over £60 I believe.

Scale model shop, the forum host, gives excellent service with competitive prices. I would recommend them without hesitation.

As the others have said, our host is a most excellent online shop.

Competitive prices, great service and if you pay the annual £10 fee to support the forum, you get a 5% discount on all purchases.

You'll really struggle to find better suppliers than John at the Scale Model Shop (there's a link at the top of the page). His prices are competitive and the service is second to none.

Agree with all of the above

Lol, I did wonder! Thanks again to you all.
One final question, with my pre order with Airfix I didn't pay till it was in stock and ready for delivery is it the same with @John at Scale Model Shop?
