Robert Only domestic shipping. Spoke with Customer Support today as I was in the same boat. Makes sense, as they're kind of winding down that distribution centre. 1 Quote
Mol_PMB Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Ah well, so I’d better stop aspiring to those last few wagons. If north west Wales is too far away, then Manchester will be well out of contention. 1 Quote

Robert Ah well, I was very tempted to get a few bits as well as some wagons. I’ve had a nagging email reminding me that I’ve left things in my cart without completing the order… Never mind, I’ll save my money and points for some other treats that I’m sure IRMAS will offer us.

Darius43 Posted January 31 Posted January 31 My Beet Wagon packs arrived in Worthing today so they were shipping to the UK on the day of the announcement. Cheers Darius 2 Quote

Cheers Darius You did well then, because I can’t complete my order as England isn’t a valid destination. No great problem, I don’t really need any more, but I would have bought some wagons and a few other bits and pieces. Quote
Fowler4f Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Purchased last 3 buses, again couldn’t get delivery to UK. So I sent them to sister in-law in Portlaoise, still got €7 delivery charge and VAT of €11.63 @23% added on to purchase price. 1 Quote
jhb171achill Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Got my stuff yesterday in record time; thanks again, IRM! I'll keep these wagons quite clean, as they would have been new in the era I deal with..... Quote

Full price though, as were the corrugated wagons I bought with them.

Models are selling out but I can't buy them, even at full price! I suppose it will save my bank account but I hope this won't be a long-term restriction.

As they’re winding down the Irish warehouse, there are less postage options available. And, if not, you can always move to Las Canarias and model Irish railways in the sun. 1 Quote

I got caught with this one as I ordered 2 packs of Bullieds and also used my Rewards points but at the last step the UK destination block came up so I couldn't complete and my Rewards have gone. Luckily I have other things including 3 Hospital Appointments in the last 10 days and 180 Irish slides/negatives to proccess to focus on. Edited February 7 by Irishswissernie 2 2 Quote

Since it was at the end of the process that the block came up, I suggest an email to IRM explaining what happened. My guess is that they will reinstate your Reward points for you. 2 Quote

I think that the points are converted to a voucher with a unique code at that step in the process of redeeming them, so they should be recoverable. Probably a high volume of emails going through to Customer Support at the moment, but definitely email them for clarity as @Colin_McLeod says. 2 Quote

If only people in Ireland are allowed to model Irish Railways then the market will shrink... We have a date set to move the stock out of Dublin warehouse but with the complexities of shipping to the U.K. and other overseas markets post brexit, we couldn’t risk having returns going back to the Dublin warehouse after we have de stocked it.. You would be surprised how many returns from the U.K. we have with people either thinking the DPD VAT request was a scam, that they have already paid the VAT, or that they bought from a U.K. warehouse etc or even just forgetting to pay the Vat on time etc. This means we had to end overseas shipping before domestic Irish shipping.. For our U.K. customers, you can still pre-order via Accurascale(ICRs, Park Royal’s and Hunslets at the moment) and we will also have the usual small surplus/ cancellations stock for the Esso tanks, H vans and Grains vans in about a week or two once we have cleared the pre-orders. We will also likely have a small amount of unsold stock from our Dublin warehouse to list on Accurascale, mainly bulleid opens and the last few magnesite packs.. You never know, we might even find a few packs of bulleid flats Edited February 7 by MOGUL 2 1 3 Quote
Mol_PMB Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Many thanks for the update, it’s good to understand the reasoning. Incidentally on the IRM website I had registered to be emailed when surplus grain vans became available, but I guess that may not work if the new stock will only be listed on Accurascale. I’ve re-registered my interest on the Accurascale website too. If my IRM and AS points get merged I might even have enough points to pay for a pack of wagons Cheers, Mol Quote
