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

During covid there were less commercial planes taking goods overseas and more surcharges we had to cater for. Thanks Peter

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

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

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

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.

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

We discount Markits products in store / website but Dapol spares we don't. Thanks Peter

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

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

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

We still stock PS13 screws. Thanks Peter
