Just tried the same thing postage was 75p
Really? I’m getting £8.75 for a £5 model and £9.50 for a £10 order!
No Outer Mongolia, but I am in Spain and one of the reasons I buy from Empress less than I would like is how high their P&P is. Even compared with other British manufacturers. Nick, from North Star, or Iain, from Flags of War, charge a fraction of what Empress does. I still buy from them, as their product is top notch, but not as much nor as frequently as I wish. It is simply that I can't afford to pay their higher shipping costs. Usually, P&P from Empress to outside the UK represents an extra cost between 30-50% of the original order (smaller orders, higher percentage). I wonder what will happen after Brexit is in force. I guess I will save all the money to travel to Salute (or Crisis) and collect there the models for the year!
Have you tried the Spanish distributor https://www.empressminiatures.com/international-distributors-24-w.asp
Salute can be an expensive show, Partizan at Newark is cheaper, Empress and North Star are both going and the accommodation is much cheaper in Newark than London. Also if you come across for a couple of days, Newark is close to Nottingham so you could visit North Star, Warlord, Mantic, Caliver (and Foundry is nearby too)
The RM International Tracked & Signed service is expensive; you're not being ripped off.It is the only way that a company can get insurance on overseas mail so I can't blame anyone, especially a 'smaller' company for covering themselves if parcels go missing.
