Castaway Arts: UK/EU distributor?
« on: 13 February 2015, 12:02:02 PM »
i think the title sums up my query....

Does anyone know if Castaway Arts has a UK/EU distributor?

It would certainly make things a lot cheaper  :)

No they don't - but I have never found ordering from them a problem adn postage isn't too bad.

I've just ordered the set you've been looking for:

Camel caravan, 2 extra camels, 2 mules and 2 foot figures and it came to £44 including postage which i thought was okay.

I agree they have a good service and customer care is a major topic for them..including postage..but anyway ordering from Australia is real killer for Continental Europe customers like me..i suppose that an affordable postage fee if ordering from UK is the result of a sort of postale agreement between Commonwealth Countries .,..you're lucky of not being grabbed by that sort of economic  lager which is EC.. ;)

The last time I sent a package to Australia it cost  me an arm and a leg!! I'm in the UK.....

I bought some stuff from them and their customer service was great. If  remember rightly, they sent the models in multiple smaller packages to avoid customs issues and I don't recall the cost being too bad (I'm UK based as well)

That sounds promising  8). I'll see how my "Wanted" Add goes in the Bizarre and then make a decision.
