Dispatch

Kits are generally kept in stock (typically 250+) and are normally posted within 24 hours during the week or 48 hours at the weekends, but sometimes can be a little longer. Dispatch will be confirmed via email with tracking details. Please use the ordering notes for things like: No logos as its a present; Don’t post until XXX, If out deliver to Number XX, etc., and I will do my best to comply depending upon the delivery option.

If in doubt ask: PlatewayModels@gmail.com

Overseas Delivery, Including Northern Ireland

Plateway Models can only deliver to a UK address (excluding Northern Ireland). Overseas customers could request delivery to UK (England, Wales or Scotland) based friends of family for onward self organised import / export.

Another alternative is to organise your own import/export using a ‘Shop & Ship’ service. This allows me to deliver to a UK address whilst a 3rd party organises the export for you. Note that you could also use it for any potential purchase in the UK.

UKPostbox For example:

https://www.ukpostbox.com/services/shop-and-ship

They offer an Individual PostBox mail forwarding pay as you go service. Note I have not tried them. Feedback from clients is that this service takes a little time to set up.
