  1. Eu Vat has changed allot. We collect VAT on orders under 150 Euros (excluding shipping cots) and then fill in lots of boring time consuming paperwork to tell an IOSS agent what we are sending and where. We then pay them the VAT and they send to your country. You then only need to pay import fees. Orders over 150 Euros will have VAT refunded. Thanks Peter
  2. During covid there were less commercial planes taking goods overseas and more surcharges we had to cater for. Thanks Peter
  3. I haven't changed the wording yet as we are trialling prices in the cart and seeing what people purchase at what weights. When we have worked this out fully the wording will be altered so if you try a fake order you will see postage is cheaper. Thanks Peter
  4. Thanks for taking the time to check it out, allot happens in a year. Even Hatton's closing. We do try our best with shipping but it is so complicated if the site doesn't understand size and weight and the investment to get it to is eye watering against the amount of overseas sales it would benefit. Thanks Peter
  5. There are no anomalies. On ebay UK postage we can stipulate postage on each item as large letter or box price or courier. Our website doesn't know sizes so starts at £3.99 2nd class £5.00 1st class then courier and special delivery on large heavy or flammable items. You will see I was commenting on the complications of overseas postage but you are commenting on UK postage. Thanks Peter
  6. As this is a picture of my items I felt the need to add a comment. eBay shipping is a nightmare we can either make everyone pay for each item separately or make people await an invoice. I don't like to o that so we let people combine however eBay has no way of combining items and assigning correct postage appropriate to weight and size. They also take 15% fees from any postage price we add to the site. This is why we have a higher flat rate up to 2kg on ebay. The best thing to do is DON'T buy from ebay come to our website www.petersspares.com and get the item cheaper than RRP and cheaper postage. It's that simple. (We do not charge £30 via our website for small items.) Thanks Peter Peters Spares Model Railways Ltd.

  8. I have asked Hornby re some of the odd pricing and I can't paste the rely but basically thats what has been decided by Hornby and it's unlikely it will change. All we can do is stock the items you may or may not want without ur markup and VAT on them. Thanks Peter

  10. We discount Markits products in store / website but Dapol spares we don't. Thanks Peter
  11. The prices are the same on ebay and the website for Dapol spares. We suffer the hit on the fees through ebay as people like to use it. Thanks Peter
  12. If you had asked Peters Spares instead of the forums you would get a speedy reply that is. The RRP of a Dapol class 26 is £148.25 Older models and used ones will be less. Re the comment of taking the body off of the chassis NO we did not. If you follow adverts or posts on Dapol spares it clearly says DCC supplies have sold us the bulk of the Dapol spares they used to carry. All spares came to us with recommended prices to sell them at. All we are doing is selling them ass supplied. Thanks Peter
  13. Hornby have had an agreement at some point with some stores to sell them TT however they have yet to offer it to their Tier One accounts like ourselves. We can't stock it or even order for customers requests. Spares however are available to anyone so we have purchased what is being offered to us. Thanks Peter
  14. We still stock PS13 screws. Thanks Peter
  15. Our Oil is: Lightweight high lubricity oil for precision parts. Environmentally friendly – Biodegradable. Advanced friction reducing performance High viscosity index so won’t degrade or thin at higher temperatures. Can reduce energy consumption Made in the UK Plastic safe. We also do a refill. Thanks Peter
  16. Do you know from the article if they used princess or hall piston rods? Maybe email us as I'm not on there much. Thanks Peter
  17. I have been made aware of this post re the buffer pricing and have popped on to clarify. I'm not sure how much you think parts are purchased for but here's an example. Dapol make the parts and have their trade price. In the past a previous holder of these parts DCC Supplies added their markup or was informed of a RRP including 20% VAT. We have just purchased all the parts from the retailer and so far kept 95% off the prices the same. The ones we have changed have a small cost of a few pence added for say changing 4 of an item to 2 if we feel no one would want 4 and the cost covers the bagging and tagging them plus staff wages to do so. This part consists of three separate parts put together in the factory and they are also sprung. Postage on our site is £5.00 minimum as the site doesn't know what's large and what's small but you can get them in our ebay shop at £2.50 postage. There you would save £2.50 and we would pay ebay 15% fees plus 30p transaction fee for the privilege. 6.75 - 15% (1.01) -20% (1.13) leaves £4.31 (or via our website £5.31, we still get PayPal or card fees) less the trade price X amount doesn't really leave much seeing as we have to bag every item delivered to us and label it as they arrived loose. That's before the usual running costs the profit goes to pay for Gas & Electric (that costs allot more the homeowners bills, wages, rent the list goes on.) Thanks Peter
  18. We have been working hard through the lockdowns and in-between and noticed a lack of Brass Shouldered and None-Shouldered bearings so have introduced these to the Peters Spares Range.

  19. I must have had an off day as we have no models in stock to check, my memory told me they didn't have tyres.

  21. As of the 1st September Royal Mail have seriously increased shipping cost due to the lack of passenger planes in the air. We had already started sending items at a loss but it couldn’t continue. We have updated shipping to reflect their changes and our flat rate. Until COVID-19 stops affecting the world and travel / shipping it won't come down. Please either stock up to make the affect less or buy latter when things hopefully settle down. Postage overseas has become very complex these days.

  23. As mentioned in other posts you need to make new pickups or ease off the old ones and add lots of traction weight.
  24. No this was made by Hornby and may be too expensive tp tool up for even if we were allowed to make it.
  25. The 52 59 66 are the large we have not got a 40 to check them but they should be the same.
