Cheapest Perry French
« on: March 26, 2013, 12:04:54 PM »
Looking to buy 11 or 12 boxes of French Napoleonics, where is the cheapest place to go?  EBay has some buy now at £16.10, as an example.  I am looking for 5 Infantry, 3 Heavy Cavalry, 2 Dragoons and 1 Hussar box.

Thanks.

£16.20 (Plus Postage)

I suppose I could see Dave Thomas, but the next show I will see him will probably be Warfare.......

Where are you based? Perry's take VAT off for overseas orders. Perhaps you could ring them and haggle (or alter the contents of one of their 'army deals').

no VAT off for Cheltenham I'm afraid. ;)

I'd call them and haggle. it appears reasonable for that amount

Caliver Books might be worth a look. 10p cheaper than eBay and 20p cheaper than Wayland Games.
And they even give a discount on five boxes bought together.

That last line is not very reassuring.  Personal experience?

My first test order for a single blister took about 12 days to be despatched, which I can live with. Ordered a second blister on the 1st of this month and have received an email today informing me of its despatch - so that's a little on the slow side at 26 days. Their Facebook page has a couple of gripes from annoyed customers too. I really wanted to do more business with these guys  as their prices are very low with free postage but early experience leaves me wavering.

 Cheers !  Gary
